If you are aiming for cycle life, A123's will have 1000+ cycles under it's belt, and that is just to the point where they are roughly 80% original capacity. I have run 200+ cycles of my A123 packs, and they still read 2350mah per cell, not bad, considering they are rated for 2300mah!  |
Nice, where is the best place to get A123's?
