APD have been quoted as getting a 30% failure rate on their cells.

Is that during their in-house testing pre-despatch, or in the customer's hands?

I had one go very quickly (almost during Mod 1 - it was dead a week after the course), but no issues since. The other two cells from that set are now 18 months old, so I've just binned them.

Cheers,
