Default Mars Lander Li

Looks to be low drain only, nominal is .3C, with <2C pulse - more or less a laptop battery (albeit a NASA certified one ) and what E-flite was using under Li-Ion cells a year ago. Comparatively Li-Poly are giving us 5C and up, with the new Kokam HD cells 20C.

Nice linky though, great info on the cells.

iirc, the rover was using non-rechargeble Li-Ion cells, hench the ~30hrs operating time only, then kaput.
