Just thought I would let everyone know that Ballistic Batteries are overpriced garbage, and there warranty is a joke.
Basically I just want to inform you so the same doesnt happen to you.
They want $159 for a 4S LiFePO4.
We had one cell go bad.
I wanted a replacement.
They would not replace, incorrect application (baahaaa)
So I took the stupid thing apart.
Guess what they are nothing more than A123 ANR26650M1A LiFe cells
$8 each
So lets see.... They have $32 in each battery and selling them for $159 sounds like I should get into making China race batteries.
All I wanted was a single replacement cell, and the Owner denied using A123s, and just wanted to sell me a new battery.
