Thought this poll needed a refresher, now that it's 2014.
What technology are you guys using now?

I remember there was a guy on ES forums who insisted that if he rode fast enough his wind turbine mounted on his bike would deliver more power out then in and keep him going in perpetual motion, you now must add "Wind Turbine power pack", reset results and start again :wink:teslanv said:Well, I added NMC for you amberwolf, but it erased all the previous results.
Guess I'll keep the list as it is now. Please vote again, if you don't mind...
And if you use more than two types, how about you just list the two you use the most.

They werqed fine at about 20A draw but had problems when I upped the voltage and amperage with a new controller. Then I found the a123 26650 cells which seriously outperformed the other batts with only 4.6ah. Four years and over 10K miles on the a123 packs now and with the exception of the few cells I lost when I really abused them, to the extreme, they are still running strong.
I'm one of those noobs. HK LiPo is awesome and budget friendly.TheBeastie said:A bit ordinary but it seems to be a bit of a trend now that we have noobs who skip lifep04 and Li-ion and just jump in first go into HK lipo, it's more cheap then it was 2 years ago even if just barely.
thetimp said:Can someone explain what chemistry exactly LiPo is? I understand a battery has a cathode, electrolyte, and anode, but for the other Li-based options, the cathode material is specified (cobalt, LiFePO4, NMC, Mn). Does LiPo not use one of these cathode materials?
