IMPORTANT LITHIUM POLYMER SAFETY INFORMATION
- DO NOT leave a battery in your model when charging
- DO NOT leave lithium batteries unattended when charging
- ALWAYS balance charge lithium battery
- ALWAYS use a LiPo Safe charging bag/box
- YOU MUST use a Li-Poly specific charger to charge lithium batteries (NiMH or NiCD only chargers WILL NOT WORK!)
- YOU MUST not over discharge lithium battery packs
- READ & UNDERSTAND the instructions carefully before operating this battery
NOTE: When using high energy Li-Polymer Batteries, please do not over-discharge or over-charge batteries as this will result in overheated batteries. Discharging capacity can't exceed 80% of the max capacity of the pack after full charging to ensure a good cycle performance. It is recommended to fully charge a brand new battery before using and only discharge the battery 50% for the first 5 cycles. Always monitor race time and/or set a low voltage warning on ESC (End voltage cannot be lower than 3.2v per cell). Do not use a battery that has too low a voltage. Do not expose batteries to sunshine or store/charge batteries at temperatures above 35°C or in a closed car. The high-temperature environment could cause damage to the pack or make it burst. If the battery becomes hot while fast charging, high current discharging, or racing, do not charge it until it has cooled completely. Wait about 20 mins, then inspect prior to recharging.

Best battery ive bought. Definitely worth every penny
Everything from the packaging to the battery is pure perfection. 6 races on them. They cycle, charge and store dead even. That's something I haven't had from the last 3 big brands I've bought.
I’ve ran 2 of these in a saddle configuration with my ebuggy and also ran them in a 1/10 sprint car. After about 15-20 cycles, both have puffed and one cracked the case from the puffing. I leave them in my bat case on a storage charge inside a climate controlled environment. They still charge and perform fine, but I’m going to retire these as they’re in an unsafe condition. Use this information as you will, but I won’t buy another one.
Three reviews, all for the 2S 145C LCG Shorty LiHV 7.6V/6500mAh pack. Two reviewers rate it 5/5 and praise its performance: one says they are worth the price, and a verified owner reports six races with even cycling, charging and storage. A verified owner rating it 2/5 reports that two packs puffed after roughly 15-20 cycles in an ebuggy saddle setup and a sprint car, and that one cracked its case. That reviewer still considers them functional but has retired them as unsafe and will not rebuy. The reviews disagree on overall quality, and the puffing report is a single account.
- + Even cycling, charging and storage
- + Strong race performance over multiple races
- + Good value for the price
- − Reported puffing after 15-20 cycles
- − One pack cracked its case from puffing
