The very low internal resistance of the Batteries (typically 8 – 10 milliohms) give huge benefits such as:
- Far longer battery lifetimes with upwards of 1000+ cycles expected for a battery pack.
- Lower heat build-up during the discharge cycle.
- Faster cell recovery.
- Lower voltage drop under loads, which equates directly to a much higher RPM per volt from your electric motor.
- More available power for the battery pack.
- Ability to charge at higher charge rates (It is important to allow the battery to cool below 25c before charging commences).
- Suitable for all applications and especially so for use in high current applications.
If you wanna try them for your R/C project, you can find them .... Lightspeed Batteries

I have researched this technology a lot. LiTi is not as good as LiPo for rc aircraft because it has a lower energy density. But when you factor in the long life, reliability, carge rate and max current output; LiTi looks to be the next step.
That said I'm skeptical that west wales models is selling the real thing.
Dean that correct! Thanks for the info!!
Altairnano when designed this tech noticed that the voltage of the batteries was lower, but later they got it fix and the current versions are = in voltage to the reg lipos.
The Videos are way cool.
(Time frame and magnification?)
This Nano-particle oxide fillers can be SiO2 , LiO2 or Al02 and their job or effect on the cells is to increase conductivity.
actually I was looking on the TP specs sheet those are the TP G4 V2 20C are you talking about?
The TP G4 V2 20C - 40C will be lighter being in the same category for the "C" rate, usually a battery of 20C will be lghter than a 40C and so on. Less C less weight.
If you compare this same battery category:
TP G4 V2 20C with the TP G4 PRO Power 30C - 60C its heavier being 808g
and the TP G4 Pro Power 45C - 90C 822g
Thats why the Titanate 5000mAh 60C - 110C 829g will be heavier ;)
I think that a TP or other brand lipo under the same "C" rate will be at the same weight or only a few grams of difference.
I think this post has gone from a informative purpose to a battery challenge and thats not my intention. I think that why we just keep the post informative and bring other tech similar to the Li-Ti to discussion and learn from each other post.
I found really good stuff of what happens to our lipos while charging and discharging, thats a good answer to why this lipos life is short. I will be pleased if the informative contributions continue for the knowledge of our members! :)
No. Lithium Phosphorus was the perfection of LiPo. Surprising how little we know about battery physics. Only recently has anyone tried documenting what happens to the electrodes.
