Battery packs
I'm on the hunt for a couple of battery packs for a new project. Where do you like to buy yours from? Good or bad experiences, etc.

Battery packs
I've had the good fortune to never have a bad battery pack. I have bought them mostly from the local hobby shop or online shops. Nothing special. Just Sanyo's for the most part.

Batterries America
I've been buying from Batteries America in Wisconson for years for both my RC and Ham radio equipment. Always fresh cells, lots of different sizes. I just got a 5000ma 4.8 pack from them for a giant plane.

Cell types
What "types" of nicad cells do you like to use for receiver packs?
I'm equiping a 1/4 scale Taylor craft with three analog servos and three digitals. G26 up front, so no need for ignition pack...

Y'all better compare your torque and servo speed on 4.8 VS 6V...you'll switch to 6 V.....
Much more torque and blazingly quicker...speed is more necessary for any 3D flying....
Hot Tip...

Energiser
We in Dubai use the new rechargeable batterry from Energizer. They are NiMH batteries. The ratings are AA @ 1750mAH and AAA @ 800mAH. We construct them ourselves and shrink wrap them.
Weve been using them for a while now and typically the charge in them lasts for about 10 flights of 15 mins with out a recharge.
Great value at about $14 a battery pack, and given the NiMh properties, no battery memory.
We use them in our Tx's and Rx's.
I will never turn back.
The AAA's are great as you can custoise them to fit snuggly into your fuse, due to there size.
