Got brand new cells and starting to wake them up from slumber. So cycling them a few times at a gentle .6A discharge. Here are the graph so far…

I heard some brands such as Hyperion, if properly cared for, takes 40+ cycle to break in. Wow. I think I have been killing mine in less cycles than that. :)

Will test pulling 1A discharge to 3.8v next.

A couple of comparison pictures of popular 1s LiPo’s for micro helicopters.

Here’s the relative heights. The Nano-Tech is not puffy. They all look like that for some reason, and as you can see…are thicker than the other 1s cells.
