New LiPo technology - "2nd Generation"

[atjurhs]

A co-worker thought I might be interested in this link, and he was right, so I thought I might share it with you. It doesn't appear that these "2nd Generation" LiPo batteries are yet being sold to the general public, but hopefully soon....

Sorry it was the Heli guys playing with these cells for the last 2-3 months.
Looks like they are getting some good data.

I have read a little about this and find it conflicting.

The Milwaukee V28 Lithium-Ion 4-Piece Combo Kit Model 0928-29
Price: $729.00/ea
May be IT, but the price is a little steep to buy and cut up for the batteries, IMHO.
