I don't think it'd be worth it to go with these over A123 cells from a Dewalt 36V pack. A123 cells can be gotten for ~$13 a cell from Ebay, depending on the price of the Dewalt pack. A123s will have a longer lifespan and can put out more current, two factors which more than make up for the ~$3 price difference per cell.
