Enough of LEDs lets talk battery packs.

So I'm going to replace my current battery pack as it's end of life.

My canister is a OMS tube rated for 600feet.


Out with the old: Venom 8.4 volt 5A 7cell NiMH 46mm x 137mm x 44mm

and in with the new: ???? looking for suggestions:

My thoughts right now are to be a pack:

• LiMnNiCo Rechargeable 26650 Cell: 3.7V 4000 mAh, 10A rated 14.8Wh
• PCM with Equilibrium Function for 7.4V Li-Ion Battery Pack (20 Amp limit, PCM-L02S20-265)
• Fuel Gauge for PCB of 7.4v Li-Ion Battery Pack

Fuel gauge because I can with the clear tube. Stacked I should be just able to squeeze 4 cells, though I'll start with 2 and when I need more power add another 2 in parallel

7.4volt @ 4A or 8A

Driving 1 - 3 SST-50 or 90s in the future


So are the LiMnNiCo the way to go? Or stick with the NiMH?

How do you define EOL for your battery packs?
