What about this other new cell? Anybody hear of this one? I just order 5 samples to test.
The numbers looks impressive, charging capabilities and cycle life. We need to see if is true.

RS50 vs 50PL @ 40A. I honestly doubt it'll be able to beat the 50PL in terms of maximum CDR before heating up past 80C, or cycle life, but it might yield a little bit higher runtime at some current levels in the 15 - 35A range... I doubt it'll be able to compete with the P60B when it comes out though, not to mention the JP50 and the 50D. Very competitive market here!
