I see your point. Even if the Drag Racers in the you tube video are using three- 4cell LiPo's run in parallel(14.8volts total voltage- combined)- at 676grams each- times three = just under five pounds. It may not be worth the 220.oo dollars times three = 660.oo dollars to have a five pound battery- rather than a battery that weighs much more than that- in the Lead Acid Chemistries. But then again- some racers are willing to pay allot of money to save a few pounds. And a 12 or 16volt Lead Acid Battery Can Sure Get Quite Heavy. What would a lead acid Drag Race Battery Weigh? 30+ Pounds? I didn't see any specifications of battery weights for 12v or 16v Drag Race Batteries.
PS. I sure like the sound of those Dragsters :)
Note: It seems the single Turnigy LiPo Starting the automobile engine- was certainly quite impressive- to say the least :)
