I am by no means an expert on RC and related electrical jelly bean stuff but having used LiFe batteries for at least the last three years almost exclusively I have not had a battery related issue whatsoever, indeed I just measured the capacity of two packs that have not been used for a considerable length of time (in excess of 18 months). Using a H9 battery load tester, battery one indicated 6.6v and under a 2 amp load dropped to 6.13v, battery two was similar but dropped to 6.15v; I understand that LiFe batteries exhibit different characteristics to conventional batteries but I believe this to be indicative of this chemistry and as a result I have the utmost confidence in my batteries, btw not all LiFe cells are created equal, these are from Booma RC.
