4s2p would also suffice, and would be less weight.
If you like the M1 cells, why not use 2p? That would provide good runtime, and loads of power that you wouldn't know what to do with!
Hmmm. Well, I wanted less weight than NiMH, about half actually. Maybe I will wait until the A123 Systems M1 cells come out in the DeWalt unit. But those are only 2.2Ah according to that link I posted earlier. Again, I could go with 4s2p or 5s2p, but then weight goes up again. Looks like Li-Ion is not in my future after all. And I definitely don't want Lipos. Unless maybe something like this (one of each)?
