How about longevity of the extremes and evo 5000 packs (same cells I was told?) One prominant competitor has told me that the extremes seem to have a shorter life span. Seems odd if they run cooler and are rated at higher discharge rates. Seems that they should last longer.

I would think so too. However, a friend of mine is flying two TP Extreme 4500 packs and is seeing large imbalances after each flight. They seem to balance fine during charge but then go to numbers over 100 mvolts at the end of flight. I haven't watched close enough to tell if it is always the same cells. I'll pay more attention if you guys think there is a problem with them.
Has someone actually run enough cycles to determine the life of the Extremes and/or Evos?
