Got 2000mAh Eneloops in all my planes so I hope they exist
. Mostly 5 cell packs but have a couple of 4 cells running ignition modules.
Zero problems with the batteries, and only the one problem with the AR6200.
PS what's my dog doing on your avatar?

I have read that Eneloops are not a good choice for an Rx pack. They are better suited for a Tx pack only.
The reason I won't use em is taken from two viewpoints
1- their specs show very high impedance
2 my own tests show that peak loads which are NOT very high -in my opinion, dropped these cells very easily - Voltage depression is only tested through load tests.
My std for even a smaller aerobatic setup is a three amp load test -
I don't want to see a voltage depression of over one (1) volt.
Everyone has their own opinion of what constitutes a good reciever battery.
Having been bit by lousy power setups on various electric powered models , I decided years back to avoid anysetup which was not the best available for the setup.
My standard of performance is the A123 cell.
These suckers will allow wires to melt before they fail to supply enough power .
IF I have to use a NIMH cell - I buy very low impedance power cells.
A one amp load test is about the minimum test acceptable -for me and this is for small or two servo gliders etc..
