Yeah man, 'My' latest purchase can be anyone's that posts. I think it's good to have a recent thread open to post up what's goin on with HK, since they do spot deals like that.
The 20$/pack was definitely at least for AU. I definitely had them in my cart but they only ship internationally from the global warehouse in Hongkong I think. Good tip on getting the dual 4pin to work with a balancer- and at that price I wonder how much inital balancing they'd have needed?
Yes, I think the popular accepted uses are within 1/4 to 1/3 of their cont rating for max discharge, and 1/2 for charge. Best way to get at their longevity, as well as keeping LVC above 3.5v or there-abouts. Don't leave them in direct sunlight if you can help it, and avoid charging when they're warm.
Mine have gotten pretty beat over 2yrs and I only had one puff even with pushing discharge to 1/2 rating, charge rating near to 150%, and had one or two accidental discharges down between 1 - 2v that I VERY carefully revived (not recommended). They don't hold balance for shit anymore, but I plan the next set to last longer by keeping more conservative use/care of them.
