Don't Li-Ions have a 3.6v nom, 4.1v peak voltage? Although, some Li-Ions have the same voltages as Lipos, but either way, these cells look to have the same voltage characteristics as A123 or LiFe cells in general (3.3v nom/3.6v peak). While the price is definitely nice, I think I'm gonna wait for some reputable testing before I get a bunch.

For longer range e-bike applications, I've been eyeing those 4/8/12/20Ah prismatic A123 cells (I hate paralleling regular LiFe cells to get the desired Ah value), but they are expensive!
