If your definition of tahan abuse is expressed in terms of durability in the heat, yes, you may be right.  On this part, I guess Audi is fully aware too thus the implementation of active cooling on the battery pack.To me, as a lay man, tahan abuse equates to the hundreds of thousands of regenerative charges and discharges that happen during coasting and braking before the battery is fully empty, and yet still able to hold its efficiency with minimal 'memory effect', thus maintaining energy density and durability of usage for years to come.  Since Li-on wins hands down in this department and if such is the case, it makes simple sense that it should last longer than NiMH, no?</blockquote>
