Default Duralites or powerflites?

I think there is a large misunderstanding as to what the Duralite Plus charge protection does. It ONLY affects the charging process.

{NOTE: It is our experience that Over-Current conditions result in most cell protection activation in R/C applications. When the charge state of the cell/pack is low and a high current pulse load is placed on the battery (such as a 3D aerobatic maneuver), its common for the pack to cut-off if it has cell protection. The pack will not reset itself until the load is removed. By this time you have crashed your model.}
At no time will the charge-safe circuit shut off power delivery (through the black lead). There is an optional cell protection circuit available but this does not come standard on the batteries.

Both Duralite Plus and Powerflite battery systems are high quality items.. but the misinformation needs to stop.
