i see people confusing Lipo with LifePo4
two different chemistries.
Right.
would you not agree that one benefit of Lipo 14.6 batteries is their voltage
being above the 13.8 spec?
Yes, but LiFePO4 are a better choice for most ham applications. They are
a safer battery, and the discharge curve of a nominal 14.2V pack stays
above 13V for most of its capacity, as compared to lead-acid chemistry,
which stays below 12V for most of their capacity. Here are two good US
vendors. The second one, Battery Space, also sells a broad range of Li
Ion batteries. Both vendors have good people to talk to on the phone and
via email. Bioenno has been exhibiting at hamfests, and their products
are sold by Ham Radio Outlet. I've made them aware of the RFI issues
associated with their chargers, and they are working on finding suitable
replacements.
