not bad; 3.85 volts on a 40A load.

3.5V on a 100A load in 2P.

True, but I made them to show something else, and I don't feel like going back and redo them to highlight the amps. So you'll just have to squint >..<

The A123s are great IMO, I was getting lightly better results than w/ the 4S packs. They are lower nominal, but 5S~=4S lipo I think.
Only downside is they are heavier than lipos, but they are so tough, long-lasting and safe they are well worth it for everyday driving.

Here's a graph of them put to the limit @ 10S1P. It was a torture test of my system. Blew the whole pack in 7.5min running hard uphill in long wet grass. Packs were 105F at the end. Motor was 110F max.
