I think it's about 2000 cycles... and upto 4C charging... you really can't go wrong with either lipo or a123 M1.. batteries are beautiful...

I'am very interest to make a 6s2p A123 for my 1/8 buggy for bashing session (because for racinc i've already a Flightpower 5000, 4s).

OK explain me three thing please.
First: wich charger can charge A123 cells? because i've a ICE charger and not sure if i can charge this A123.

Second: Must i balance A123 pack when charging? If yes, how could i make a plug to balance it?

Third: where can i buy it?

Thank you

Here's a link which shows you how to make your own balance plug for your A123 packs but I read somewhere these don't have to be balance. Can't find the site that had that write up.
