Default Mislabelled packs?

Hi guys,

I bought a new set of 5s 5000mah Zippy packs from HK and wonder if they've been mislabelled? Two things stand out...they're heavier than my other 5s packs (1200-1270grams), at 1360grams, and they're also fatter (wider). I'm wondering if maybe they're actually higher capacity than 5000's?

Don't know if this means anything, but after I charged them the first time I tried to break them in with gentle running on the plane (about quarter throttle only for 6:30 minutes). Then when I went to charge a second time to storage charge I couldn't! Kept getting "bad S count" on my Cellpro. I was able to use the 0.1A charge setting and saw it was at 45% capacity but the cell voltages still read 4.0volts (also all cell voltages were almost the same).

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Ken
