Yup... either A123 or regulate a LiIon or Lipo. I'm sure whatever you decide, you won't be disappointed.

I like Lion batteries because you can tell when the pack,is not safe to fly. The instructions say to charge them when the voltage under 1 amp load hits 7.0 volts. As for regulating them, the ibec will do that.

That I like. That is the biggest reason why I still use NiMh. Was not aware Lions could be checked.

Yup.... and fwiw, imo....easier to maintain. The best of all worlds. More power than A123, last longer and light in weight. I'll stay with them until "The Force" powers my planes.

I don't like regulators. High failure point. A123s deliver much, much more power than Lions.

Hmm.....have I misunderstood info. Robert? I thought A123's are 6.6 volt. LiIon's are 7.2. Peak capacity at 8.4, A123's at 7.2?
Wanting to know if I missed something.

Stang,
LiIons have a nominal voltage of 7.4V. A123s have a lower voltage but a much higher amp output rating. While LiIons can drop 1-1.5v under load A123s may drop .1 or .2 under load.

No interest in regulators here either. Nor power boxes.
