--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "icrashrc" I have a fair bit of experience with A123's and yes, they would work fine for starting your plane, or your car. I've used a 10oz [4 cell] pack to jump start a Rotax 912ul 4 different times this winter. All were at well below freezing temps. I have a 16 cell pack ready to install in my 912uls powered plane when it's completed this summer. LiFe battery packs are not as simple as just hooking up 2 wires. I doubt they will ever be mainstream until someone markets a complete drop in solution. [quote="jef.vervoortw(at)telenet."]In september 2007, some messages promoted the use of A123 Systems batteries. They should offer a substantial weight saving. Anybody heard of recent developments?
