Default RE: A123 Cells

Hi Guys,

This is good info, I was looking for practical application in the A123 support thread elsewhere on this site, you mught take a look.

I figured an 11s2p arrangement would be the best because the cell won't hold 3.6v under load, I figured 3.3v nominal. That may cure the 5% power increase Mach is looking for, but at a weight gain of approx. 140gms.

This pack with wire and packing would weigh approx. 3.5lbs. Heavy, but doable if you can build really light.

I'm building a Black Magic v2.3, if it's light enough A123's may go in, we'll see...

But they sure have a lot of advantages over LiPo's, except for the weight to energy factor.

I'm listening and watching intently!!!
