Pros: Cheapest battery in it's class and still quality it offers is very good. Friend of mine used it in his Easy Star RC plane and he was very pleased with it. Gives enough kick to send plane almost vertically up. After several charges it still has it's nominal capacity.
Plus it has Deans T connector already installed.
Cons: None that I could think of actually. After may tests it still keeps it's parameters...
Other Thoughts: You will not find cheaper 11,1 V 2400mAh LiPo battery that works than this one. Great source of power for RC planes, cars and other toys...
Bottomline: Will buy it again for sure....
Good and cheap

Pros: Cheap
Light, compared to a NiMH pack
Powerful. Measured with a GPS I reached 50km/h with a 17-turn brush motor before I lost control and ran out of the track.
Cons: Not really
Other Thoughts: This time it wasn't my battery that ended my ride, but my motor that wore out. If you have a brush motor made for 7,2V it's a bad idea to feed it with 11,1V cause it got so hot that the wire from the ESC got loose from the motor cause the solder thin melted. lol
In my nearest model store they have THE SAME battery for TWICE the price, and I guess they takes shipping for it too. So this one is a good deal
Bottomline: Buy this. You wouldn't regret
Great batteries for Blade 400

Pros: Very nice batteries for the price.
Seems that there are more punch in this batteries than the original batteries for Blade, could also be that they are lighter.
Works easy with the Eflite or the Esky original charger.
Bought three of them.
Nice price.
Cons: Comes with Deans, not EC3 plug.
Dealextreme should sell EC3 plugs and/or converters. One EC3 plug cost almost $7 dollars here. So either you must solder a new plug on either the batteries or the Blade.
They are thicker.
And the change the balance of the Blade.
Other Thoughts: Bought this for my Eflite Blade 400. Fits almost perfect, little thight under the canopy. Changed the plug for the Blade to Deans, so now I don't bother anymore.
Bottomline: Nice batteries, nice prise, nice DealExtreme;)
Fits perfectly in the Twister 3D Storm Heli

Pros: Great build quality, better than the original unit that came with my heli. This fits perfectly in to the Twister 3D Storm heli.
Cons: Hmmm, nothing that I can think of! As long as it lasts a fair few cycles it will be great!
Other Thoughts: Would LOVE to see the price come down a touch and see dealextreme branch out in to motors and batteries more for fixed wing as already plenty of heli kit on here.
Bottomline: Buy it, bargain price and don't pay hyped up model shop prices!
