I had my first 123 pak go south on me, after about 60 flights one pak decided not to take it's normal amount of mah's that was expected and when I checked the cell v I found 1 cell at 3.34 and the other cell at it's normal 3.6. The pak only took 39 mah's when it should have taken about 1200 to match the second pak. I cycled the pak twice and now the bad cell will not come up from .55v. These cells all started out as Dewalt paks purchased new. This the first time I have had a problem with several paks in 35% and 40% models. I will not take a chance and the pak will be replaced.
