LiPo does put out more, but ive seen to many of them swell up and burn and seen a few cars whole electronic system burn up due to LiPo...
True, LIFE will stay at ~6.5-6.6 v longer but thats not my point. Im saying it doesn't boost performance by 10% compared to NIHM as NIMH will start at 6.5v and stays above 6v aswell untill empty... (measured under load)
Btw, the LIFE packs i have here start off at 6.6 volt - measured under load
For me LIFE in the first place is weight saving and secondly more consistent servo operation, not so much about extra performance.
