Dave,

No hard numbers, but I have been using PC680=99s since I first 
needed power to test the electrics back during my build.  They have held 
up magnificently and I usually end up replacing them simply because they 
are 5 years old and getting a bit long in tooth, not due to any 
difficulty.  I still use them for bench batteries.  We/ve also been 
using them in our Little Toot Sport Biplanes with no issues at all.

Just my 2=C2=A2, YMMV.
