Thanks for posting this! You'd think the industry would manufacture these in a different size Other than AA since they're obviously a higher voltage than the standard AA ! What company or brand are these Lipo4 batteries ?? Its not just scanners that would fail but all sorts of electronics! Voyager, WHERE did you see these so we can keep an eye out? I hope Walmart don't start selling these ! 73, n9zasI see rechargeable LifeP04 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) AA cells are starting to show up at some stores. DO NOT use these in your scanner!
These cells are 3.2V and will not work (for long) in consumer scanners designed for 1.2V AA cells.
These are SHORTER then a AA battery NOTE: This is not a AA size battery and will not fit in place of AA rechargeable batteries, this is a 4/5AA.
Why, would the manufacturer not label them something Other than AA ? Still the public should be made aware that they are not standard AA's. 73, n9zasMoot point since they wouldn't fit anyway.

When I was in school, I learned that four-fifths (4/5) was smaller than five-fifths (5/5)...Why, are they larger than standard AA's ? Still the public should be made aware that they are not standard AA's. 73, n9zas
I know nothing about this "New Math"... :wink:
Well no ****, but at a glance someone still might buy them in error since they are still labeled AA ... Right? :roll: 73, n9zasWhen I was in school, I learned that four-fifths (4/5) was smaller than five-fifths (5/5)...

No, they're not labelled AA, so chill already.Well no ****, but at a glance someone still might buy them in error since they are still labeled AA ... Right? :roll: 73, n9zas
Don't tell me to chill! The damn Amazon link SAID " AA" , so go read it ok. 73, n9zasNo, they're not labelled AA, so chill already.
Very true. I've built two 36 volt packs and one 48 volt pack with matching cells so far for some guys who ride home brew E bikes for fun. One Lipo4 pack they had, started smoking while they were on the trails. :wink: 73, n9zasLIFE batteriy technology is safer than LIPO (lithium polymer) batteries as lipos have a cell voltage of 3.7v,and if you discharge under 3.3 volts,they basically get hot and explode.you have to have a low voltage cutoff in order to save the aggravation. LIFE batteries are an improvement over regular NIHM batteries which only carry 1.2volts per cell.i have used all 3 types of these batteries in my RC boats and cars.why they would market the LIFE batteries as a AA is beyond me.someone wasnt thinking too clearly obviously.
Okay, two places state 4/5AA, but the last line is incorrect:Don't tell me to chill! The damn Amazon link SAID " AA" , so go read it ok. 73, n9zas
