Default RE: Nicad shelf life


ORIGINAL: pilotpete2

Three seasons with Sanyo 1100mAh AA Nicds for 5 cell receiver and 8 cell transmitter packs and they're fading fast
These packs are always charged at C/10
Next season my glow powered models will have 2S A123 1100mAh packs[8D]

I had similar results with Sanyo 1100 mAh AA NiCds. I no longer use them. The lower capacity Sanyo NiCds last much longer in my experience.

For higher capacity I use NiMH. I'm trying Sanyo Eneloop 2000 mAh cells. So far they are holding up very well.
