All are showing fairly high resistance values and most were noticeably down on power. Shot. Kaput. <BR>Soo.. I've got to go invest in four sets. Tru's lighter sets enable me to make weight--but I'm not crazy about the durability with some of Orland's experience--although they have replaced bad(slightly squishy--puffed would be too strong a term) packs under warranty. I don't know how their larger and higher rated packs hold up and they 'only' put me over a couple oz. Price is pretty good.<BR>The older Tanics I had actually held up the best over time--but the newer ones have not--and fairly expensive--but I drive by 'em twice a day and wave. I had a set of Kokam 4800s and they didn't hold up well either and I think they have abandoned the larger battery market-- were/are expensive. I'm hearing Flightpower mentioned often and wonder if they have a battery guru that gives pattern guys a break. I never really got serious about TP as at one time they had--as far as I was concerned--too many cells in their packs--but perhaps it's time to re-visit.<BR>We also had some of the original FMA 5000s and they weren't all that great either--but may have improved with a new cell vendor.<BR> <BR>So I'm in a bit of a quandary. Any thoughts? This should be interesting.<BR>RS</SPAN></FONT></P>
