Quick question just to confirm.

I've read that the platnum Lipo is very efficient such that it has:

Low IR
High voltage
Develops little heat when used.

So given the last fact, does that mean it can be charged immediately after being used without the need for cooling like NiMh?

Also, I had heard it mentioned that in regards to its performance (volts), it doesn't matter whether it is fully charged or partially charged. Is this true?

Lastly, Mr Black mentioned on the KO race thread that one Platnum is equivalent to three good NiMh packs. If I had one Platnum and the Orion charger would I be able to last the whole race weekend on it? Also would I always be ready to run between practice sessions (5min.) and heats at almost anytime in the event so long as I keep the battery charging while it is idle on my pit table?

Thanks.
