is it the gold ones Rob, as I understand, the harder you charge/use them, it realy drops the useable cycles on the cell. All great charging at 10A but it kills the cells.

Jim, I do beleive they do get warm, and need a little rest before charge, as like any cell, it is a chemical reactio producing the stored energy.

LiPo, if it is in a case, that surrounds and contains the cell and the undervoltage protector, plus maybe the balancer to, then great, if they are the ones the Heli guys use, then no. I think people misunderstan that a lot of LiPo cells are not rated for our power useage.

Rob, hope you are ballasting up the car though, as I STILL haven't seen a race test with a back to back, cell and LiPo but with the LiPo the same weight as the NiMH setup.
