Ya never know. It only took A123's less than a year from anouncement to retail product (DeWalt). I know this new technology is in it's development stage but there is a big enough demand for it so maybe we'll see that demand push the R&D and get this new technology out to the consumer. For us electric flyers, this is very exciting indeed. Very good point Steve, I'd love to see some graphs. |

Amazing. Imagine when the discharge rating gets to be the same as lipos. We could have much smaller cells with the same flighttime as todays lipos(due to the increased capacity) which means that electrics would be considerably lighter than gassers. Or you could keep the weight and fly the whole day on a single charge... lol to borrow from the lipo powered expander system guys.

heydick, Yeah, 10 times the capacity, with A123 stability and C ratings, electron nirvana! I don't think we would even need new chargers since the chemistry and therefore presumably the peak voltage is the same. |

Ahh. I think it will take something like this to kill glow good and dead. I can only imagine that more rapid advances things are coming for batteries in our lifetimes. Even if we solve our energy production problems we will still need a way to store energy. Lots of big companies will invest in battery technology and we modelers will surely benefit along the way. More Watts!!!!! please  |

in a classroom, far far away... now kids pay attention and read along, after the dodo bird came the nicad, then the nimh,the li-ion/poly/fe/??... and do you remeber why they went extinct? because the modelers where always looking for something better! |

Amazing...simply amazing...just think of the wonders we haven't discovered yet. Yeah, it will take something like this new battery technology to revolutionized the hobby completely, glow will always be around, just in smaller quantities. There are still some guys who fly control line, not because they can't afford R/C, but because they like control line flying. The really awesome thing would be for the price to be at least HALF of what a good LiPo costs, then we'll be in a REVOLUTION!
