Paul,
Thanks for the reply. I guess what I'm getting at is a LiFePO4 option in addition to the current battery type, for those of us willing to give up some performance in exchange for longer shelf life. As it is now, the VML last a really long time on a single battery for how I use it. I would probably be willing to give up some of that, as well as recycle time, in exchange for longer service life in the current package size.
But that's just me. I'm sure you also have to consider many factors in order to determine whether it's worthwhile to provide such an option, at least for the current VML.
I aso bugh a couple of VML and 2 batteries for each and I did not knew they would not last longer than 3 years.
I would also enter the wagon if open of the new batteries for the VML. Really I love the size and weight of it. And I do not use them much. But wanted to have the option adn sometimes they have been life savers.
Please keep that in mind developers :)
