Yeah, just remember that A123's are just as likely to die if drain right to zero volts. I have drained my pack until the vehicle came to a snail crawl, charged them back up and still full power, didn't do anything.

A while back I had a post of my pack with roughly 100 cycles on it, the cell capacity was still over the rated 2300mah, it was IIRC 2375mah @ 2.0 cut-off. This is after a pack that had been used in a 10 minute discharge, as well as being accidentally shorted out, twice. IMO, they were born for R/C.

HERE is the test.
