[NSRCA-discussion] Electric/Glow Pros and Cons

[Chad Northeast]

Dave makes a good point, somewhere around this computer of mine I did a 
capacity test at about 50 cycles. It showed around 2.5-3.5% decrease vs. 
new packs. Adam did the same on a set of 6000's last year, at about the 
same usage and it showed similar as well.

Maybe at the end of the year I will test out these again to see how they 
are doing capacity wise.
