| If you get TP batteries, make sure you get the V2's. The V1's have problems with holding their charge, and dying prematurely.

Yea, but the generation 2 TP packs are a hit or miss as well, at least here with the vegas guys!

| How many cycles can you get out of a batt if you use the 80% rule and what does everyone charge at 1c

-Alot! Time your flights and aim for the 75% rule instead of 80.
-Keep cell voltage over 3.3 after flight(Higher is always better).
-Balance charge them every charge.
-Charge at 1c or less and that will keep voltages between cells at acceptable levels.
-I see this alot here in Vegas. Don't keep your lipos in the trunk. Don't get packs hot. This includes during flying.
-For long term storage, charge to 50-60%. This is weird but during this time I like to pop the packs in the refrigerator. According to sources, this maintains the pack and prolongs it's performance and cycle life.
Treatum right and they'll treat you right, unless of course you get a dud from the get go.
