leaderhobby LiPo packs? Has anyone experience with?

[cor]

OK, So last Saturday (yesterday) I did climb up HW9 in the Santa Cruz mountains. I got to use about half or a little more electric power and the rest came from pedaling (which I actually liked, I was able to stay in 4th or 5th gear most of the ride up. Not because of battery limit but because the controller on my stock 24V bike would not accept to deliver more than an estimated 400W continuous without protest. I hit the protest more than a few times, but always backed off a little on the throttle immediately to avoid smoking the controller or motor. Result was that I arrived on the top with a good workout and about half the battery power left in the pack. Lowest voltage on the pack was 26.7V (about 3.34V per cell, 8s) which jives with the resting voltage after the ride of around 3.7V on the cells and my earlier measurements of about 0.1V drop for a 5A discharge, indicating that the max draw of the controller is likely almost 20A (about 500W) resulting in almost 0.4V drop per cell.
While the ride up was strenuous but rather quick, I was able to maintain around 10 MPH speed due to the electric assist, the descent was hilarious, reaching speeds of at least 50 MPH seeing that cars could not pass me on the straights and I had to lay the bike uncomfortably flat in even wide turns. For sharper turns I *did* brake, but mostly I coasted down the steep descent (about 2200 ft change in about 4 miles) and I was happy that the packs were able to feed my wimpy e-Bike motor and controller. I doubt I want to pull more than 1C from them though, so these packs are *definitely* not what they are promoted to be, they may be usable for something low power like this...

22v 10000mah $67 bucks 5c burst 3c continuous sooo... $134 bucks for a 44v 20ah pack @ 3100grams hahaha must be
some good quality LiPO

I don't get the numbers right? My math nust be wrong.
Am I missing something?

Junk I get. Shipping is also another add on. Still cheap and maybe junk.

How could the voltage of lipo battery can be from 22v to 44v in parallel？

Little buzz and everything looks double.

Hit it with a 120v DC power source for a couple seconds. Would be a fitting end for one of these pieces of crap.

Anybody having some bad packs that he wants to get rid of?
Bonus points if you have Transmetric 4s packs.

Anybody has Li-Poly packs that they can send over quickly? Don't care about condition...

You may have better luck if you let people know your location.

Cor is in (California).

Sorry - I forgot to put my location in my profile.
Indeed, I am in Silicon Valley (San Francisco south bay area) in California.
Neptronix has one pack for me, anybody else having packs with bad cells or just unusable packs?

I own a crossbow

I have an experiment I'd like to conduct

location: UK, London

PM me if you'd like to see your Transmetic cells receive an arrow through the head

Lol, now we have a bounty on them! excellent!
