That's if you don't need anymore than 4600mah capacity. Keep in mind they are brand new chemistry, impressive none the least. (features more for full scale EV's)


So, in the end, if you want the best quality battery (I take it that's power), then yes like everyone is saying, the Trakpowers are at the top of the list, expensive.
That 720grams is still lighter than 12 NiMh cells, but you get more power than 14 cells (5s2p A123). And comparitively the runtime is better.
