That is good to know about the HC.  One bank that died was definitely not 
HC.  In other systems, I've seen standard L - 16s not lasting anywhere near 
the 10 year rating.

Didn't Sandia do a test of L-16s several years back that demonstrated that 
they did not really live up to their advertised potential?

I've found the T-105 batteries to be incredibly tough.  I agree that they 
are too small for big systems.
