This (i'm told) is why some cells have the terminals on saddles the other way around. So far i've found that Turnigy and my older Trackpowers have connectors on the opposite side to my Intellect and HB packs.
If this is indeed the case - that everything we use comes from either China Factory A or China Factory B then in my opinion, if a lipo set originates from an already approved supplier, then it's as good / safe / etc as any other?
Re the figures / capacity / power argument - doesn't hold any water for me as i've tried all sorts of lipo's and can't see / feel / measure the difference on track. To that end I buy cheaper lipo's now as I see no point buying the highest C rating etc.

Hmmm some of mine have hollow tubes, so do lrp/nosram, so in your suggestion, which factory do they come from?
If there are two factories, then for example, if they have quality control and matching, could it be the substandard cells ( by the manufactures tolerance) are sold to cheaper outlets that don't want them on the list?
