TP batteries, I guess I've been lucky.

Well, in the past two years I have owned 2 packs each of 3S 1320 prolites, 2S 1320 prolites, 3S 2100 prolites and 3S 2070 eXtremes (V1).

I still have both packs of 2S, they get rare use, but still fully charge and are balanced. One pack has small dents from a crash.

Both 3S 1320s are gone. One was in the Super Cub that went down in the water preserve. It was actaully able to be saved after I gave it to someone at GQF, but he said it lasted maybe another 30 cycles, and never really seemed to give full power. The other died after some crash abuse.

One 2100 prolite has a bad cell. It only has the slightest of dings on the middle cell, but it is completely dead. The other two cells are fine. The other is still going strong, even though all 3 cells are very badly bent after it ejected from my P-38 on an inverted pass. It went straight in from about 50'. Still balances fine and will take a full charge, and it gets used at least once a weekend.

Both of my 2070 eXtremes are working fine. I think I got very lucky that I bought them when I did. It seems all the problems with them started about 2 months after mine were made.

So I have had mixed results with durability, but I have not had a pack conk out or puff for no reason (none have puffed, even after crashes). Thomas has not been so lucky. For my money, I'm sticking with X-Calibers for now.

My T.P. 1320's were OK for me. I just gave all of my old ones to Adam. 2100's have been OK for the most part until I got some Extremes. They suck in comparison to my Pro-Lites. The Pro-Lites suck in comparison to my X-Calibers. Mike gets all of my battery money from now on. X-Calibers give me the power and reliability I want and at the price Mike sells them to us for they simply can't be beat!

TP for me was hit or miss. Mike get's my money now. I still have and use a etec 1200 2 cell in my Qtee. I've had that battery for about 600 years.

I still have an Etec (from ALLeRC), a Prodigy (from Viper), and a few Electric Power's (from EJF), as well as my TP's. They are all old and still work, but don't get much use. It's pretty much X-Caliber only for me now.

I tried my T.P. 3S 2200mah Extremes today and they sucked. I'm not sure what to do with them now.

Contact Thunderpower, get them swapped out for new ones, and sell them on RCG.

I've had good luck with the prolites, and not good luck with the extremes.

Brian,

They're too old now. I bought them October of '06. They'll never believe they actually have less than 10 flights each.

try anyway.  One thing you have to give TP no matter what - they have great customer service.
