OH WOW what a wasted $16 that turned out to be. I had it fully charged and got 8mins of easy not to hard flight time out of it in my fFC40 and then it did a death drop like a rock luckily I was just hovering a few feet off the ground. and when I un hooked the battery it was freaking 8.7 volts yikes! so no dam way that thing is really a 2200mah being I checked it just before I popped in in the phantom and it was at 12.63v when I started and I then tested out a Turnigy 2200mah 2200mah lipo battery and got a lil over 12 mins out of it and it was at 9.9 volts by the time I landed it.

So Im wondering if any one else has has simuler bad flight times from the vortex x batterys????? at 8 mins from a good full charge I dont even want to chance flying it.
