The posts seen in this thread are a good example of the misconceptions often seen in Lithium technology. Some posts are the result of not reading all the previous posts before it and others are simply the results of good marketing.

It is ok to have an opinion. Seperating opinion, rumor, and hearsay can only be done with testing data from third party sources. We are providing that data for those that wish to read it.

The issue of cell weight is directly related to current delivery, temperature under discharge, and pack longevity. There is no free lunch, reguardless of rumor. Lithium is lithium and only the size of the internal plates determine differences in weight and current delivery capability. A 1p pack solution will be superior to a 4p solution as each cell can be monitored. The test results prove this to be fact over marketing hype.

As the industry learns more about the proper use of Lithium technology, I feel that product lines like the BalancePro HD and Cellpro line of balancing chargers and discharge protection modules will become the new norm by providing a safe and long lasting solution.

The glow and gas engine paradigm of paying for fuel as you go has given rise to paying less for a Lithium pack up front without any reguard to how many cycles the pack will actually provide. In the long run, the lower expense is seen on packs that last for 400 cycles or more.
