I'll counter - get cheap gens ace packs and change them every year...
Technology is moving quickly with batteries
I agree and when the new hyperions came out the quality jump was huge. Hopefully the same will happen again soon.

Well I think you will spend less if you get some good batteries instead of disposable cheapness... in teh long run they will last longer and as far as I'm concerned they weight less, and have better performance. My G3's I bought in early 2009, I'm just retiring them now, and the only reason I'm doing so is because I neglected them for the last year. They have lost only a tad of performance, but the capacity is the only real degradation.
I will be buying only two packs this year, and I race competitively at my local track. I don't want to be relying on flightpowers or turnigy zippo lighters....
