newbie battery question(s)
I bought a used futaba transmitter with a nicad battery pack & wall charger. I think its about 500 or 800 mAh. The battery is worn out. Can I put in a Nimh, about 2100 mAh and still use the same charger? How long would it have to charge? Does the Nimh pack have to be "broken in" in some way? Thanks.

RE: newbie battery question(s)
Pay careful attention to the physical size of the new battery vs the old. No, NIMH batteries do not require charging/discharging to reach peak power. NIMH do not develop cell memory as do the older NICADs. You can get exact replacement batteries at www.towerhobbies.com
