I am very excited about this technology!
Although I can't afford to jump on board with it now, I definitely plan on purchasing from this line before winter (provided they don't have catastrophic failures and horrible reviews).
I also want to see real-world installations in R/C land vehicles in order to determine how they fit in existing sub-c battery spaces.

The idea of this evolutionary, voltage-accomodating, quick-charge, plug-and-play type of power system is a HUGE boost to the electric R/C market. Let's just hope that the application of the idea is just as impressive :003:
Being able to take a battery pack of varying base voltage and set it for the standard 7.2V doesn't obsolesce existing electronics, which is a nice bonus. Add in that you don't have to worry about overcharge or over-discharge, and it's even more fool-proof than nimh batteries.

I can't wait!

Joe Electronics run on smoke... if you let the smoke out, they stop working.
