To Quote from the Team Orion bumf...
The Team Orion 4800 Li-Po pack weighs 258g, versus 401 g for NiMH 7.2 volt assembled cells. This is 36% lighter!
The 3200 weight even less at 198g, this is less then half the wieght of a 4200mAh Ni-MH stick pack yet provides the same run time!
I use a Carbon 3600 pack, and have to use ~220g of lead to get it up too weight. I have 140g mounted on the pack, then put the other 70odd grams on the car elsewhere.
Personally, I would go for a Orion 3600 or Schumacher Core 5000 pack over the 4800... the 4800 is a little bit of old tech now (if it can be called that
), and the 36 and Core5000 have much more punch.
