<DIV>I was a bit skeptical too based on the 10C spec, however, I have
experienced the same as Jim and Chris. They run slightly cooler than my
other batteries (TP and FP) and I am consistently hitting high 60s amp
load. They also hold voltage better under load.</DIV>

<BR>I've got 63 flights on one pack. It had 56 of those with the 12T

degradation during <BR>that time. The time on the 11T has been in

I'm already ahead on a cost per flight basis.<BR><BR>Jim O<BR><BR><BR>On Jul
