if i rememeber correctly there was something on the net about ib admitting that some of the vent caps were faulty on the early models and they were changing the design/or how they were put together..been far too many failures of these cells to be user error,they should have never made it onto the brca list with the amount of these cells blowing up for no good reason..its only a matter of time before someone is stood in the wrong place at the wrong time.

i've followed all those rules, and still had loads of cells die on me. Not many other options at the moment is there though, unless anyone can recommend me an alternative?

You charge at 4 amps all the time? What cells and charger do you use?

yeah, charge at 4 amps, cos i already heard of them being dodgy. I use the robitronik overloader charger. I've never come close to overcharging them either, it's really weird cos i've heard people have a couple of cells die here and there, but not this many!!

overloader charger , not the best name haha....anyway, i have had two cells go in two years, this was in just one pack. Apart from that they have been fine. This is with charging, using, leaving in car for a month, charging, using, sometimes discharging and equalising, but normally just charge them again They are in their second year and are still awesome, maybe treating them like crap helps?

The last thing we need is more power from our cells though imo.
