3 months????????? That's nuts! I'm actually going through the same problem. I ordered three 4S 1300mah 40C packs, three weeks ago. They were in stock when I ordered them but then quickly got backordered. Now I'm waiting for them.

Glad your packs showed up! I sure hope I don't have to wait 3 months for mine.

Lol....ok....I saw " 1/04/15 " and read "January 4, 2015, lol.

So...you ordered them on April 1, 2015 and shipping was one a bit more than a month. Now I have an understanding, lol.

Glad the batteries showed up! I hope mine don't take much longer.

Not sure how relevant this is but after charging i checked the resistance and therse are the results:)

Battery 1: 19 19 19 = 4.21 4.18 4.21 = 12.6
Battery 2: 18 18 17 = 4.21 4.18 4.21 = 12.6
Battery 3: 19 17 18 = 4.21 4.15 4.21 = 12.57
Battery 4: 20 19 20 = 4.20 4.16 4.20 = 12 56

My voltage tester read them all at 12.5??
Not all measuring devices are accurate:)

Where did you order those from Graham, seems a long wait....

Did you balance charge them ? Those cell voltage should be closer than that I'm sure...

The biggest difference is battery 3, but it's only 60mV really... I'm sure they are great. When I got lipos from HKing the p&p was the same price as the lipos.... Still worked out a couple of quid cheaper but wasn't worth the 3-4 weeks waiting period... :D
