Interesting packaging. They mention the use of lead acid chargers in their description. That's surprising.

That could mean it's not balanced. A balanced LIPO 4 battery is going to last much longer if taken care of properly.

The chip inside the good LiFePo4 batteries protects from many problem situations like over discharge where your battery would heat up, potentially causing a problem. I dont see any mention of the Bamboo case being waterproof which would be a problem. Also, 10 amps is not going to last me 2 full days of fishing with my ff.
