Has anyone tried replacing the Bionx NiMh or other batteries with others? Their charge for Li is outrageous. A swap out of equivalent LiFePO4 with more AH would be nice.

I'm interested in those lithium batteries myself.

A video on YouTube that tells about the Bionx systems, says the batteries are Sony Lithium Manganese and don't need a BMC. I can't find anything on Sony's site for that type of battery other than small camera-type batteries.
