Where do you buy authentic Gens Ace from?

I bought two 4400mAh 6S 65C packs from HobbyPartz and they look like regular GensAce packs (identical), except two things:

1) they came without EC5 connectors and with shorter wires
2) the warning label on the back looks very different to genuine Gens Ace and instruction manual specifically instructs to charge at only 1C

You can see the warning label on the pack looks totally different to labels on genuine Gens Ace.

I have owned other Gens Ace packs in the past, which is how I was able to tell the difference. So at this stage I trust no-one.

HobbyPartz prepaid return shipping and agreed to refund the cash - let's see if they follow through, but what a waste of time and energy!

While it's not confirmed if they pulse and Gens come out of the same factory or not, they definitely are not the same battery. They have a warehouse in California. http://www.genstattu.com

Don't know if this means anything, but it may be some time before we see the brand back in the US.
