I have three LIFE battery packs (Lithium Iron Phsphate-4). They are all two cell (3.3 volts nominal per cell) 1800 milliamp-hour packs.

One was in a plane that I flew two years ago, one was "in storage" and the third is brand new.. well, I picked it up at the hobby store on Monday.

I was very curious as to the remaining charge in all three cells so I put them on my charger. What I have is a Triton 2 EQ charger, which is the recommended charger for those packs.

The first pack, which was the one that was in storage for 2 years, took about 5 minutes to bring it to full charge. I did not cycle it because I think I read that you don't cycle these type packs. The second pack, is the brand new one, is now on the charger, has been on now for about 10 minutes, and it just finished charging.

The third pack, which was in my Skylark 70, is going on the charger shortly.

I was amazed with the packs in that they held a charge for all that time. I will work with them to see how they perform, but I am confident that they will work out very well.

So, based on what I saw tonite, I am convinced that this technology battery pack is reliable, holds a charge, and will continue to do so for quite a while.
