Default Li-Ions?

Hey guys,

I've listened to what some of you suggested to me in another post and I'm considering Li-Ion batteries for my 28% Edge. I've been looking around a TBM and I've found:

TBM 2 Cell Li-Ions (2800MaH) - $26.95 (each, will need two, one reciever and one ign.)

MAXX Products Miracle switches - $40. Will need 2.

I would still need a charger.. Don't want to spend to incredibly much. But this is all still "up in the air" so suggest what you think I need. It would cost me $87 for NimH batteries but we're already up to about $134 dollars with these.. Plus however much for a Charger..

I have no Idea about the "care and feeding" either. What's the big advantage to these? I know they (for both packs) weigh 7 oz. compared to the 20 oz. for Nimhs. But what else?

Thanks Guys,
