Let us know how how you get on with them.  I find the self-printed sticker in place of the real capacity and C-rating more than a bit dodgy...

finally got my hands on these batteries , basically for the price there OK but there 1400mah capacity in a real world situation. Their the cheapest packs i';ve tried and performance is perfectly usable on a 250 quad , results below.

On a 1c charge and then discharge to 10.5 v @1c you get 1375 mah in and out of them.

Looks like there closer to  1400mah packs , I';m guessing if you discharged all the way down to 9v @ 1c you would get the quoted 1500mah , and probably shorten there lifespan in trying to get it.

I then discharged at 10c (14 amps) down to 3.33v per cell. They Put out 1325mah and the  battery quickly recovered to 3.6v per cell once the load was off. Warm to handle but not too warm,  and not puffy. 10c discharge works out at around 6 mins flight time so its a fairly realistic discharge rate and with 3.6v left in the cell it shouldn';t get damaged.

Tried it on my quad with DYS 1806 motors and 5040 gemfans and it flies fine but the voltage alarm needs lowered compared to nano packs.

PS
tried the same 10c discharge test on my 1400 zippy 30c pack and got 1230 mah out of them, they weigh the same as the zops @ 125 grams
