Lipo vs Li-Ion

[ghoffman]

The only battery I have puffed (besides the HK Nano Tech crap) was a LiFe when I tried to charge it at 5c! I really prefer the 8.4volts and on the 91 EF Extra, it needs the voltage. I am considering running 3S Lipo's with a Castle BEC Pro to regulate the voltage to 8.5 volts.

Damn, you need some juice!

Daren, I've seen some TP puffed at the local field, with use at published 30c rating for under 10 cycles. I finally bought my first set to try in a 48" edge. I'll be keeping close notes on their performance.
It's hard for me to accept any puffing when I have other batts not puffing at all.

Especially at the cost of the TP. The Glaciers have been great and I'm looking forward to trying the yellow jackets.

Exactly.
