LiPo Power, the new batteries are available.

Lithium Ion was in the past the most powerfull energie memory. These times are gone. Now Lithium Polymer batteries are the most powerfull ones. They are about 30% smaller about 50% less weight about double powerfull and with special fast loader they are loaded in about one hour. The products are on the market especially for models and notebooks and cell phones and robots. The next step is on the run. The new generation of batteries is named LiFePo4. They are high power cells especially for electric cars and hybrid cars. The advantage of this cells is the extremely short loading time of just a few minutes and the high stability of temperature. With this cells it is possible to drive a car more than 500 KM with one load cycle. A test car with this type of cells made records without end so the startup from 0 to 100KM/h in 2.6 seconds and it won the last Ralley Monte Carlo and additional it won the race of the fastest cars on world. So no one ever tell me it is not working - IT WORKS PERFECT !!!
