I kind of figured something like this might be coming along. Lots of energy stored in those cells, and if they let loose on a boat or plane could be big problems. OTOH it doesn't seem that much safer to me, I guess when they aren't connected together there is less overall potential (voltage) from a single source.

Wonder how HobbyCity will handle this? I guess the majority of their packs are within the 100Wh limit anyway

Doesn't really matter to me much because my buggy and truggy both run dual tray setups, so the biggest pack I'd need is 3S.

EDIT: A 6S 4500mah pack is right at 100Wh, so that's still pretty reasonable, and a 5S 5400mah pack is also right there at the 100Wh limit (and also single cell 20Wh limit), which is more than enough for most applications. I don't get why the article says packs over 4000mah must be split up, are they talking about higher than 6S?
