I agree with Methods. I am not into this for cost savings on trasportation or because I love to hug trees. I am into it as a hobby that moves us closer to electric cars and motorcycles.
It is funny how, just a year ago, even guys like Gary were pushing eveyone away from Lipo. Now many are moving toward Lipo without looking back, including those who were against it not long ago. I was pretty much told by eveybody I asked that I was insane to run Lipo in my recumbent when I started collecting parts for it less than 2 years ago. Now, here we are.
At any rate, Lipo can last a loooong time if you stay well under their C rating and stay away from over-discharging. Heck, I have an RC transmitter with a 5 eyar old lipo pack in it that is still going strong!
