I'm not positive about cell phone batts but I think they are Lithium Ion cells like Laptops. Laptops and cell phones can get away with using lower C capacity cells because they do not require the const current a vehicle does.

As far as the Apogee packs available, it depends on what mAh Apogee packs you're looking at. The 5800 mAh are only available up to 3S but the 2200 mAh and 3800 mAh are both available up to 6S.

I run 2x 4S 2200mAh in series or parrallel depending on the vehicle and each pack weighs approx 8oz.

I may run 6S2P 2200mAh in my 8th scale whenever the MMM shows up.
