I read the comments at the time and couldn't figure out why you guys were dismissing it so quickly. It seems to me it is exactly what we need. To charge and discharge fast you need extremely low internal resistance and we like that, so our voltage doesn't drop under high current loads. More power to the motor. Instead of 80 Amps at 35 volts you might get 95 Amps at 41 volts. At that point we might need better motors and ESCs but the batteries wouldn't be the limiting factor in the power train. It is definitely a step in the right direction.
