Good Review David.  I have a little extra input on these batteries.
I don't have technical specs, but I do have some real life data. I had 50 cycles on my 3 Cell 800Mah 20c Battery. Still charged to 4.20v and balances perfect every time. I pulled a Homer Simpson and left it on my ESC overnight and Cell #2 dropped to 1.8v. First thought was the cell was trashed. Lipo Charger wouldn't recognize it, so I put the charger on NiCad put it on the charger at .8 amps for about 5 minutes and it brought the cell up to a high enough level so that the charger didn't give error and the other cells didn't go over 4.0v. Ran it through a balance/discharge/balance cycle and it balanced out perfectly. So back out to the field, ran it until the ESC soft cut kicked in, brought it home and cell #2 was only .2 volts lower then the other cells. Charged it again took it back out and cell #2 came home at .1 volt Higher then the other cells. I have since put another 10 flights on this battery with no problem. The cell stays within .2 volts +/- on every flight since then. I also want to mention that this battery is used in a experimental and 3d scratch built foamies that have crashed hard enough to knock the battery off at least 6 times. If I get 100 cycles out of this battery then I am one happy camper!!! These batteries rock!!
