Hi:
I'm shopping for a PC680 battery. I want to make sure that the batteries that are available out there from places other than Van's have the same dimensions as the Van's PC680 so that it will fit into the box that I bought from Van's. I just talked to Van's today and they said that a PC680 is a PC680 no matter where you buy it. After doing a little research on it, they come either with or without a metal jacket. The metal jacket is there to protect it from heat. Is the metal jacket required in our flying machines? I'm thinking that the metal jacket will make it not fit into its' battery box. Plus, I'm thinking that the metal battery box does the same job in protecting it from heat as the metal battery jacket.
Thanks
