      Funny enough, ive had to send another one back to him this week for exactly the same problem as the other i sent back. out of the same lot of packs, not used for a few months and when i tried to charge from storage, sent PL6 into safe charge mode. sent it off to Andy to check out, will let you know result once i hear back from them.

          Hahaha, me too...!

          Isn't it funny that they are practically useless, but we don't want to throw them away because they cost us a fortune and are expensive to replace!

          or is that just me...!

            Just remove the dead cell then use as a 5s. That's what I done with 2 Turnigy packs & flew a 6s set up on 5s. Sod wasting 5 good cells & I got a good 200 plus cycles from them too
            Yes the big sigpic is coming back

              For an expensive battery failure rates seem pretty high to me....

                      Doesn't matter which courier you use, since they're faulty batteries none of them will carry them.

                        Even they won't carry 'hazardous goods' and lithium batteries fall into that category.

                        They may not ask and you may not tell them, but if a package goes missing I'll bet they won't pay out and if a pack goes up in flames during transport you will be liable for the damage under their T&C.

                                The rules for businesses are different as they trust and expect a business to properly pack and label the box to the correct standard.
