Could it be real?Could be but, Keep in mind that many lipo manufactures exaggerate the ratings on their batteries. So lets say there is a 10% exaggeration, then you are right there with the TP batteries but with more weight and a questionable guarantee at best. I'm with Chris, I'm buying the TP packs and taking advantage of the sales and guarantees of a USA based dealer with a fantastic reputation. To me they are not priced even close to low enough to experiment with.
