LifeP04?

LiFePO4 aren't the same as A123. The A123 uses the same LiFePO4 chemistry, but with a few additives. IIRC.

You are correct. A123 which is a propriety name for the process of 'doping' the anode and cathode with chemicals that enable the cell to discharge with a higher C rating. True A123 cells IMHO are much better than the cheap chinese imitations that are floating around. I have tried both and the A123 are much better suited for the purpose of Racing and Bashing.
