I had to buy new BRCA legal batteries this season and leave my pefectly good 2 year old 4200's at home. After 4 months use (5 National meetings!) all my 2008 cells have had cells go down despite equalizing every use. They are easily the worst batteries I've ever bought.

I'm keen to see Lipo's in off-road as I'm fed up with the lottery of NiMh buying, plus no more assembly and the other outdated crap NiMh's require.

I don't know all the Lipo risks hinted at on this thread. Why can't someone list them? I understand they can catch fire if damaged or charged incorrectly, but as somebody has already stated, I'd rather face the risk of a fire than exploding NiMh shrapnel inside a tent at point blank range.
