Hello all,
As I posted elsewhere.. I decided to test out free Ground shipping from HobbyPartz while also testing out their 5S 20C 5000mah packs (which are supposedly from the same manufacturer as the Turnigy and / or Zippy Flightmax).
I've been hawking the UPS tracking number for this ground shippment since I placed the order, the package was expected today but I didn't hear the UPS man... lucky me they delivered it to the front door
I have checked them all and they are within spec, though I should mention (before you see the video) the are WARM right of the box (well it is 85 degrees F here in the Philly Burbs).
Here are the unboxing photos and a video examination (low quality until YouTube catches up)
The box arrived unopened and undamaged {and redacted sorry}
Packaging seems to be okay from the top perspective, bubble wrap..
Okay well only a single layer of bubble, but each individual pack is also bubble and anti-static wrapped
Here are the 3 5S packs removed from the packaging....
again...
Single layer of bubble and much was popped, I would like to see a bit more packaging used here
And yes a full video {too long, a bit of profanity at the EnJlirsh translation of the Warning Sheet}

I will update this post when I have charged and discharged these packs, ensuring 15-20C and no oddities or explosions {oh that would be a nice video and I have 2 of the new mini cams from turnigy}
Hope it helps!

** edit - Sorry the video is mostly upside down, I hadn't realized while shooting and will post a new video on the next scheduled arrival from HobbyPartz shot the right way
** edit - I was right in the video, these are nearly 1/3" narrower than the 5S from HobbyKing! I haven't weighed them yet but I compared them to 5S and 6S hobbyking packs, they are just slimmer - guess soon enough we will know if they are 20C and 5000mah capacity.
