If you are in a scenario where you are always draining the battery at 20A and want to maintain a higher voltage for as long as possible, the HE4 is the better choice.

In the beginning I claimed the HG2 may be the best high-drain battery available right now. Unfortunately the cell I tested does not quite meet its mark at 3000mAh. It however does clock in at 2960mAh.
Even if we call it a 2900mAh, or a 2800mAh battery - it still surpasses the Samsung 25R (2500mAh) and the LG HE2 (2500mAh).
There are cases which this can be shown wrong, in particular in high-drain tests at 20A which I did not perform. It is however, highly unlikely that the capacity will be effected enough so that it can not exceed 2500mAh.
It is for that reason I am fairly comfortable claiming the HG2 is quite a beast, and I crown it as the current king of high-drain.
Oh man---
I was going to pop for one of these this weekend but I was in a location with no internet service---for my carrier. Well--just went on the RBT site and the unit has gone up $40 in price? A bit bummed considering that no production units have been shipped and I'd likely get in on the first 250 units sold. I don't feel that the $240 is unreasonable considering the reviews I've seen, but I was counting on the $199. Oh well.
I like the stealth mode and then...one day... sion will be mine@Mixio if you've just read the whole thread in one breath maybe you should've gone for the Dual Power House instead of the single.
Not sure on the un-answered requests other than RBT being understandably very busy at the moment. You may well hear from him when he has a minute. I would imagine there aren't many minutes spare in this mans life just now.
He's very cool as far as communication. I sent an email with some questions and he responded within 2 hours---in detail but also very personable. I've got a good feeling from this communication and will be ordering one.

RBT has been saying for months that the price will go up, it actually got pushed out from like the beginning of August if I remember right. Yes it's about 300 with shipping and batteries, which is close to a crafty when it comes to portable devices, but this is pure convection, tons of power, beautiful wood look without the ugly plastic, and probably hits harder than the MIGHTY does. From everything that I'm reading, this probably should be priced closer to a Mighty, so $240 is a STEAL.$240 and it still needs batteries and a way to charge them. I have a cart of $304 with shipping when I add 2 batteries and a charger.
