Did anyone take advantage of the NSW warehouse $1 shipping on the weekend just gone? I got a text sent to my phone about it.
Hope they have more offers like that.

Looks like I should've waited to buy these. I spend like extra 250 bucks on shipping cost to get my 8 10s5AH Nanotech battery.
maybe someone can benefit from this now that it's in USA warehouse. Save a shitload on shipping!

Hey that's good news.
Which ones did you get?
Thanks.

Thanks.
I was talking to a friend who is heavily into RC helicopters. He bought some of the original NanoTechs and was highly impressed with them. But the current production cells seem to be VERY problem prone... lots of puffing after a few cycles, sagging, etc. Numerous people that he flies with seem to be having the same type of problems. None of them will be buying any more NanoTechs any time soon, if ever. YMMV

That's really interesting to hear. I will be over there again a couple weeks, and ask him WTF is up.

I can attest to that, I bought a set of 4 6s 6000mah nano's back in April and 1 started puffing after 6 or 7 cycles. Now, after about 75 cycles it is almost useless.
Unless of course, it's pregnant and gives birth to a litter of "baby nano's"
....Then I can go into competition with HOBBY KING 8)wow, what voltage did you guys drop it to or charge it to? I have my nanotech charged to 4.1V and never below 3.6V. So far after about 10-15 cycles, all 6 have NO sign of puffing. I even keep my Lipo charged ~ 4.1V for weeks without rides and it is still fine. You guys must have done something to it.

All 4 were never charged above 4.2 and never discharged below 3.65. I never hit them harder than an 8c discharge rate. 3 of them are fine, just the 1 is defective.

I was wondering if there is not a warehouse in my own country, do I have to order from their international warehouse, or can I order from a warehouse that is close by. Like I am in Canada, can I order from USA warehouse?

Last person I know who tried this was able to order from the East Coast warehouse to Quebec but that was about a year go at a minimum !

PS: Alternatively if you wish to place an order form the East Coast Warehouse, have it delivered to my Warehouse (second condo) I can then ship it ground or other up to Canada and mark the crap out of it with REPLACEMENT PARTs likely saving you a ton of import duties and tarriffs.
Some day I'll ask a favor of you (no it won't be illegal, lol)
