Default a Li-Ion in a lead acid world.

Frank, I have a problem with those Peak Batteries, the web site
doesn't give enough information. Size, what kind of charger, etc.
Maybe you or someone could dig into it a little and report back. I did
read the article in Soaring but felt it was thin in places.

Take a look at Scott Fletcher's article in this month's Soaring
Magazine. *While very expensive (about 5x), the Li-Fe-Po (Lithium-Iron-
Phosphate) battery pack is a lot better suited to soaring use than
either Li-ion or SLA batteries. *The K2 Energy (http://www.peakbattery.com/) 12V 10AH pack is the same size and form factor
