Also, you can charge them now and fly them at Christmas, they don't self discharge. I always charge while i'm packing the trailer, that way the batteries are ready to get next time I get to the field, whether its the next day or next month.
+1 on the A123 batteries. I use them in my jets and will eventually get around to putting them in the big gassers. They are also A LOT safer to store in the shop.
Hope all is well, Andy.
