RE: Run time is dramatically lowering...
Hi, welcome to RCU.
I don't think the heat is the cause. Reduced capacity is an indicator of a damaged battery , I would bet that the dynamites are some of the bottom of the barrel for lipo packs. This is the second report I've heard of dynamites not holding up very well.
A sure way would be to test one against a new pack , but then the cause would still have to be determined.
