$100 gets SMC 6s 5400 at 90c.
I'm sorry I don't have the xp with the packs you mention but right in-between cost are SMC packs that I do love.
I don't think I can buy into the graphene tech yet and I've read into both plus and minus. :cautious:

Hmm the HDs fit in the V3 battery tray and their short side is listed as 51mm.

Either way I decided to go with the HD, not sure if I buy into the whole graphene thing, and a couple 2s lipos for the minis.
 
I have used the HD's 5000 60c and the (standard) Graphene's 4000 65c for 2 years now, used them equally and the Graphene's definitely outperform the HD's. They last much longer, no swelling at all and ir is unchanged. The hd's will retire soon.
 
Is this normal?

Yeah that is not normal at all, started an RMA with Hobbyking.
 
Those are new? Looks like a Hobbit is living in there, certainly not ok.
Maybe you can exchange them for Graphenes.
Yup came out of the box like that.
 
That's more swelling than my HD's after 2 years of abuse, strange.
I was all :mad: when I opened the box. I literally said "What the **** is this ****? I suppose having one bad item out of 15 different packages that I had come in over the past few days something was bound to be messed up.
 
Well so far I'm here with Hobbyking support.

We are done with the evaluation and validated your claim. We are now processing the resolution for your RMA request.
 
Taking their time but sounds like they’re slowly getting there.
It went from rma approved to proceed to settlement within 1 min. I have no idea what proceed to settlement means.
 
I just ordered 2 Turning Graphene 5000MAH 3S 65C batteries for a total cost of $95. They were on sale. I hope they aren't all puffed like yours.
 
The Graphene packs are awesome. I just picked up a few more 6s 6000mah graphene packs. They fit very snug in the outcast/v3 Kraton/senton battery trays.
