Thanks for the info, @jasonculp .... I was about to purchase some new LG's but now I think I'll hold off for a while The few HG2's I have were purchased months ago, so I'm safe from the defective batch. Right now the vast majority of batteries I am using are HE2's, and my last ones were bought in January. I guess if I decide to get anymore in the near future, I'll pick up some 30Q's instead, until LG gets their production issues cleared up?
