I use 123 cells and they are great for sport flying. You can charge them up at
up to 40 amps.. YES 40 amps with a zip wire... I use 2 deep cycle 12v battery's
in series with 8ft of lamp cord to charge 6cell packs in 10 - 12 min. They
actually get better over time and seem to like being abused..
However.. They have a serious voltage drop under constant load so they don't
work well with my electric tow planes were full power is required for up to 2
min.

that the A123 was a Lipo either.

I am very aware of the A123 cells. I have chargers that will charge them. But
that does not prevent me from learning from others.
If someone chose a particular technology which is different from what I would
choose, I like to understand why. This is how I learn new things.
Why is a very powerful tool and the source of all knowledge.
Best regards,

Ed,
Oh My, I am shocked that you are not up to date on battery types! Search
Rcgroups in the electric section and you will find lots of information on
the A123 LiPo batteries.
