        <![CDATA[Killa' s comment is all true, I have used the same batteries. I routinely use Lipo's that can put out 75-100C and be charged at rates of 15C as well. And no, they have never blown up or started on fire. ]]>

        <![CDATA[I do not know if this has been posted previously as I have been away from the concentrator for a while (bangwhiz disease). But this is for you folks who assured me several months ago that carbon nano tubes etc. in lithium batteries was 20 years away and not a concern:<br/><br/><a rel='nofollow' target='_blank' href='http://bit.ly/T166OT'>http://bit.ly/T166OT</a><br/><br/>Price $38.90 ($36.80)<br/><br/>Turnigy nano-tech A-SPEC lithium polymer batteries are built to the absolute highest of standards to provide competition level performance. With features such as gold plated balance leads, silver plated discharge wires and an all new CNT (carbon nano tube) additive mixed into the electrodes, these batteries are simply unmatched by any other in performance and build quality!<br/><br/>The new CNT/electrode mixture reduces impedance, generating less heat and maintaining a higher voltage under discharge load. Basically what this means is that these batteries will provide more power in your machine especially during high current draw maneuvers, and they will provide a longer cycle life due to the lower operating temperatures of the pack.<br/><br/>Top notch performance and build quality make these packs ideal for high-demand flying such as 3D helicopters, EDFs, F3A and any other high current draw applications.<br/><br/>More than just a fancy name. TURNIGY nano-tech A-SPEC lithium polymer batteries are built with a LiCo nano-technology substrate complex and an all new CNT (carbon nano tube) additive greatly improving power transfer making the oxidation/reduction reaction more efficient, this helps electrons pass more freely from anode to cathode with less internal impedance.<br/>In short; less voltage sag and a higher discharge rate than a similar density lithium polymer (non nano-tech) battery.<br/>For those that love graphs, it means a straighter, longer curve. For pilots it spells stronger throttle punches and unreal straight-up performance. <br/>Excellent news for 3D pilots!<br/><br/>Unfortunately with other big brands; numbers, ratings and graphs can be fudged. Rest assured, TURNIGY nano-techs are the real deal, delivering unparalleled performance!<br/><br/>Spec.<br/>Capacity: 2200mAh<br/>Voltage: 4S1P / 4 Cell / 14.8V<br/>Discharge: 65C Constant / 130C Burst<br/>Weight: 259g (including wire, plug &amp; case)<br/>Dimensions: 105x35x35mm<br/>Balance Plug: JST-XH<br/>Discharge Plug: XT60<br/><br/>* The nano-core technology in lithium ion batteries is the application of nanometer conductive additives. <br/>1) The nanometer conductive additives form ultra strong electron-conducting networks in the electrodes which can increase electronic conductivity. <br/>2) These additives create a super strong ability for imbibition in the carrier liquid to supply more ion channels. This improves the ability of ion transmission and ion diffusion. <br/>Through improving electronic conductivity and ion transmission, the impedance is reduced and the polarization of high rate discharge decreases greatly.<br/>Advantages over traditional Lipo batteries.<br/>Power density reaches 7.5 kw/kg.<br/>Less Voltage sag during high rate discharge, giving more power under load.<br/>Internal impedance can reach as low as 1.2mO compared to that of 3mO of a standard Lipoly.<br/>Greater thermal control, pack usually doesn't exceed 60degC<br/>Thickness swelling during heavy load doesn't exceed 5%, compared to 15% of a normal Lipoly during heavy load.<br/>Higher capacity during heavy discharge.

        <![CDATA[Has anyone noted this, I searched the concentrator for Durathon and found nothing. This appears to be a real threat to some of Axions potential and it is real and large in the commitment of capital. Any thoughts because this worrisome to me. After all, Immelt sleeps in the Lincoln bedroon.<br/><br/><a rel='nofollow' target='_blank' href='http://bit.ly/M6E4ed'>http://bit.ly/M6E4ed</a><br/><br/>GE announced today [July 10] that it will invest an additional $70 million to expand its Durathon battery manufacturing plant.  The new batteries are half the size of conventional lead acid batteries but last ten times longer.  They are the result of a $100M R&amp;D investment, and are targeted at telecom and utility operators. ]]>
