zoomzoooie -> Alkaline batteries for GWS receiver/servos? (8/14/2003 12:48:15 PM) What I need to know is, could I use two 1.5 volt rechargeable AAA alkaline batteries to power a micro receiver and 2 servos? If 2 are not enough then maybe 4? How long would they last if plugged straight in without using a switch? Is there a nicad pack that would be the same size as a square pack of 2 to 4 cell AAA alkaline? I want to build a small 2 channel hand launched glider. It is a pod and boom type and has just barely enough room for 2 servos, receiver and maybe 4 AAA batteries. I have a couple of 9oz micro servos and will get a 4 channel GWS receiver. This will all be a very tight fit. 5/8"W x 3/4"H x 2"L is all the room I have for batteries. I might be able to move things around and get 1"max for width depending on balance. IF I can't use 2-4 AAA cells or a nicad of same size, I might have to enlarge the plans to fit what you say would be enough battery. Any other info on using alkaline rechargeable batteries would be a help too. ZZ

zoomzoooie -> Alkaline batteries for GWS receiver/servos? (8/15/2003 3:52:28 AM) Thanks for the reply Red. I have been looking around to find a Nicad pack that would be the same size as 4 AAA alkaline, but haven't found anything yet. They all seem to be AA size 4 packs. I remember seeing smaller packs long ago. Are there no smaller packs made anymore? What batteries are people using for their micro set-ups without electric motors? (glow/gliders) ZZ
