Yea, but then there's the guy on the Futaba FASST thread that just lost his jet when he couldn't tell that his A123 packs weren't up to full charge...
That's hardly the fault of the battery is it?
When you can fully charge an A123 from flat in just 15 minutes, they have no memory effect, and they have a cycle life of over 1,000 charges, there's simply no excuse for not throwing them on the charger for 5-minutes between flights is there?
If the guy concerned forgot to refuel after a flight and crashed with a dead-stick, would he blame the fuel?
