Dave,
Congratulations on the success of your new mini-AVA. I am curious about the
choice of the A123 cells.
If I understand the product, these are sub-C size cells and would seem large and
heavy. However, clearly your AVA is not heavyweight.
But why A123 vs. Lipo? Was it size, shape, cost or
I believe the A123's are Lithium Ion Nanophosphate, not Lithium
Polymer. Their biggest feature is that they can be charged faster
(3-4C, IIRC) and allow very high discharge rates (30C, with 60C
burst), and are much more chemically stable than LiPos. There was a
video on the 'net of an A123 cell
