The 36v 10 amphr lifepo and charger I bought from daoj666 in October 2011 is doing well despite early misgivings. The cells took a long time to settle in and balance and I may not have helped by doing some rather deep discharges too soon in-order to measure the capacity. I now treat in nicely, recharging after 50% or less discharge. Probable done 40 or so shallow cycles but I suspect the internal resistance is still dropping (which is good) and the cells are staying balanced.
I did read somewhere that lipos contain an self discharge inhibitor which disperses in the early life of the battery. Anybody corroborate this?

This report will probably signal the end of the battery.
