Yep! I think it's just the learning curve, in general. Those of us who came over from NiCad/Nimh batteries into first gen Lipo tech have a familiarity advantage, as we made all the real costly mistakes early on and can easily warn folks and provide 'best practice' lessons without fires or failures.
These are my go to rocketry and tracker batteries, 99% of what I'm launching has one or more of these for various things, depending on size and needs.
The only thing is with the Losi connectors, you have to be sure that you change over the pins to whatever configuration you're using (which is simple).

I did an experiment a few weeks ago with a new RRC3. 10ish minutes of pad time, 3 minutes of flight, and about 20 minutes of recovery and walk back to the truck and turned it off......6mah put back into the battery!
That 750mah battery once powered my RTX transmitter for 4 days, even though the manual says ~10 hours.....and it recharged without issue.
