it's probably the new LiFePo battery. Has 12.8 Volts and will handle 10 
times the number of cycles of a Lipo.

Thanks for the info! However this battery can not be used for starting the engine.
And it is three times as heavy as a normal LiPo. Still much lighter than a
normal lead acid battery though.
It could be a good companion for the LiPo battery, use the LiPo for starting, and
the LiFePo battery for the rest. With less than 1,5 Kg (3 pounds) you have
15 Ah, and additional redundancy.
