RE: Battery longevity
I've been informally keeping score, and I haven't heard a single report of a Thunder Power Pro Lite 5s4p5300 or 5s3p6000 failure when used in a pattern application. Previous generations? Absolutely, lots. Pro Lites? Not a one.
To be accurate, there is no published evidence that a comparable Kokam cell produces less heat than the Thunder Power cell. The only data available shows the obvious: add mass to a heat-producing body and the temperature won't climb as fast.
