Andy,
Keep us posted on how those work. The price wasn't too bad - I paid about $90 USD each for 22Ahr batteries for my Panther. They weigh about 20lbs together (2x). That weight didn't bother the Panther, but is too heavy for smaller tanks. A lighter solution w similar power would be great - esp for smaller tanks and vehicles.

You could always add a third pack for accessory power if two drain too fast.
Best regards
Bob

It will be very interesting to see how you get on with these, as they're 6 x 3.7 volt cells rather than the 8 x 3.2 volt cells of the LiFePO4 batteries which have been discussed here before.

Overall the voltage and capacity seem to stack up nicely, so it's likely that any difference in performance will be down to the internal cell technology.

It will be interesting to see if the nominally lower maximum voltage will have any noticeable effect.

Adrian.
