You forgot to say ''.... and deliver 100 Ah + 1000 CCA''. :grin:

I use Lipos in my RC planes (My job is selling RC toys LOL), have a 5000mah 11.1v in 2 of them and they draw 100A peak current anyway, Lipos are based on C rating, so you get 5A battery with 20C means it can offer 100A peak current, likewise a 5A 30c battery can give 150A if needed, although my own models tend to only draw 85A max on full throttle (That electric plane does around 140mph top whack :surprised:).
Larger planes you just put them in parallel or series to bulk up amp and mah capability, still they weight not a lot anyway, not compared to PB batts.
IM sire in years to come tyhey will be in cars, my golf trolley is also LIPO powewred now.

I think I will wait till they come down to around £200 :happy2:

I know several people have l/w batteries so to add to this I have had a custom fabricated battery tray for the Braille / Tomika (they are the same dimensions) made by Alex at AKS.
This adds safety IMO as the battery is propperly secured.
Here it is before powdercoating and final features applied....
It bolts down in the original mounting points of the plastic oem battery tray :smiley:

Has anyone looked at a lithium for our engines yet? I'm looking at the options seeing as my standard one has just about had it.
