It all has to do with the components they use. These radios are made with low volt-low current ICs. 72MHz Multiplex Evos have been using low volt-low current stuff for years with great success. My Evo-9 will run for close to 8 hours on a charge and it has the stock 1500mAh 6-cell NiMH pack in it.
If the 12FG proves to be anywhere near as efficient, that - in and of itself - may be good reason to upgrade to a new radio rather than a new module.
I have a sneakin' suspicion that this Futaba news is only one of several revelations we'll see 'tween now and the end of the Toledo show.

The 12 and 14 channel Futaba Radios use a Li-ion pack. Its the same type of pack that a camcorder uses. My 14mz seems to go forever on a charge and I really love this feature.
