I'm going Lithium.
If anyone wants a set of plans for a good Li-Ion/Li-Po peak charger, just ask. I'm going to use my beloved Apache 1-2 cell, if I can just find where I put the stupid battery....
The advantage of Li-Ion over 3 200mah -cells:
-Cheaper (2 li-ions for 6.00 (1=3 NiMh), a 200mah is usually about 5.00)
-Slightly faster (the Li-Po puts out 1/36 more voltage, with a WAYY flatter discharge curve)
-FAR HIGHER CAPACITY (can anyone say 800 MAH! That's a long runtime!)
P.S. if someone knows of a small Li-Ion battery, let me know. I intend to mount mine on the top, and simply make a ugly car. If I could find one that would work internally, that would be nice.
