your right lifes do have a drop off compaired to lipo..but the drop off wont go below 6.6..when fully charged its like 3.45 in each cell so like a total of 6.9 if not 7v..its enough to be fine all day.. ive ran it for a 1hr and 30min of prac and 3 5min quals 2weeks ago..1st time out with the batt it needs 20 charges to be broken in..and that day it droped to like 6.6v and it charged for 30min and was fine... if i just run 3 quals and charge it it may take 10min to be ready for a main..and it doesnt discharge while pluged in..so why not try it?
it does have a drop off like i said but if you charge it before a main just liek you do your lipos any way, you wont even notice it!
