Team Orion 1100 problems

I was wondering if anyone is having problems with team orion 1100's? I just had a set vent on me last night after I believe 12 runs on them total since I had them. I had three sets of them and they were never as good as the three sets of 900's. I use the break in feature on the maha charger when I got them and they vented on my 8 cell maha charger. The 900's are getting better with every charge and 2 sets out of 3 of the 1100's would not even reach half there MH rating and would lose power faster than the 900's or any of my other sets of batteries. I pretty much gave up on the 1100's and sticking with the 900's.

i too have a couple sets of the 1100's and found they do not hold up as well as the 900's however i've never had any probelms with them on either of my maha chargers. from now on, i only use them in my kt-18. as soon as i get the helios module, i'll likely not use them at all unless for practice or the like. the 900's have been very good to me so i'm sticking with what works.

Really horrible batteries. I got two packs and after more than 10 cycles they still don't go over the 850 mAh barrier. Just two of them gave me 900 mAh.

So I have to say.... these batteries suck. They're not 1100 as advertised. Unless they need more cycles.....

i dont trust on the 1100 mah as they clam.. my orion which is the jap market version is around 800 mah (its capacity is 900).. well the High volt batt seems to hold more mah inside..... i get 1000 mah from one of the battery...
