In researching a higher Amp hour battery for off season robots, I've
found a LiFePO4 battery that is the exact form and size as the normal 18AH lead acid batteries. However, I am not experienced with the specifications, and I'd rather avoid frying any of our boards. Anyone know if these would be safe replacement? (Only for non competition use of course)

Infact, I'm surprised FRC doesn't use these batteries in competition, but perhaps they're too new.
I said it was called FIRST Robotics and the coolest thing I'd seen that day was a 150lb robot balance with another one on a teeter-tooter and and then score basketballs from 30 feet away. - Siri [more]
