Well we kinda know about abuse on Lithium batteries....they don't like it.
Thats why I'd like to see some abuse data on these A123 batteries. How do they handle vibrations? Are they reliable? Sure the ignition will run at 3.3 volts, but does it like it... Or say over 50 flights, does it cause an increase failure rate of the electronic components. I doubt it...but I'm a bit more conservative with my $2500.
No one sponsoring me.
abuse data ?
these cells were designed for hand tools which are drop kicked all day long
_ I can't think of a high energy cell which has the abuse ability these have .
not all lithium technologies are the same
I run em as power batts for electric models at over 40 amps discharge - and they will take 70 amps constant
these are not the delicate LiPos - just the opposite - I watched a video of one under load and then the operator drilled a hole in it - -it just smoked and passed gas ( so would I.)
