Default Lit. ION batteries WHERE

I have several models with Lit. ION hard cells and a good charger for them. They are NO trouble.

My problem is to find who offers them now. Tried two website and requested a reply. None have come.

Cost is not the object. I just like them because they are sooo easy to use and as stable as NiMh or NIcads, plus hold the charge for months.

Just can't find them. The ones now in use are several years old.

I be uhf figgern' I might needs some replacements jus' any days now!!! Whar might thet be?

Thanks much for any advice.

My advice, switch to A123's
Not to argue however just a couple weeks ago I purchased a rather large airplane at a swap shop. There were two A123s in the model. As he was taking them out one caught fire. Nothing hurt, but I have been very successful with my Lit. Ion. Just like NiCads or NiMh.

Thanks for the thoughts.

Interesting. The only way I would see an A123 catching fire is if there was a broken wire and a direct short.

I don/t know much about anything but the basics. OTOH when he jumped and I saw a small blaze and SMOKE, I was thinking that I just paid $500 Yankee Greens for a very short fireworks demonstration.
We had just finished up on a very fun Night Fly. The lights where we stood were not all that bright but It got my attention as well as the seller's.

Edited to add:

THANKS Fellows: Woody, Barr. H, Hoosier06. I now have some suppliers bookmarked and 4 battery sets on order. MANY THANKS.
