Well, I'll do my best to protect them. I don't think that'll be a problem. They do have a relatively short life,,, probably less then 250 cycles. However, you have to keep in mind I won't be stressing these batteries much. It'll be a walk in the park for 10ah 20c lipos to discharge a constant, what, 50a? That's 5c.... I also don't plan on this project, if it comes together, to last more then a year. I bet these lipos will last much more then a year...

If The bike does go though a set of batteries and I'm looking for a new set, I'll look more into the a123s and headway cells, but for now lipo looks like the best bet. Unlike LiFe or Li-Ion, I don't have to get another charger or balancer and I have all of the proper equipment to properly maintain these lipo cells.
