Bob,
Is that Admiral battery a LiIon or a LiPo? It appears to have a balance lead. Balance leads can make installs difficult. And if the balance lead is not used for charging, battery life can be shortened.
I like LiIon's with Printed Circuit Board (PCB) protection. Only one lead for charging and the PCB prevents from overcharge and also from undercurrent from running the battery too low.
I started using MTO batteries but found these XML batteries do the same job at nearly 1/3 the price.
