Hi Leonardo :)
I couldn't say for sure either way, yes or no: I'm just avoiding risk, as flecc calls it, when it comes Li batteries - some are possibly very good, others not, and I see it as a lottery, unless someone can recommend a particular instance. The nanophosphate (Fe3PO4) ones (can't remember if they're a type of Li-po or not? I think not) sound promising though, and maybe more durable and less negatively affected by high depth of discharge, also seem to allow high current from even small capacity batteries which is very useful for small, low capacity ebike batteries (e.g. 5-mile range for local shops, about 750g :))

Stuart.

Just for everyones info, my Giant contact has been told there are no more 9Ah batteries in stock. Apparently this is because the batteries are now supplied by Sanyo and not Panasonic, and they are only doing the 6Ah version. :(
