Default RE: Futaba dropping all NiCads?

ORIGINAL: summerwind

went to buy a 6v 1000mah pack from tower to replace a pack in one of my models, and it says discontinued. looking further i found several other NiCad batteries are discontinued.


i tried to get the answer in the Futaba forum, but am getting the no answer.

anyone know anything about this?

there were 2 replies in the other thread, but like usual, Bax deleted them right away..........
Hi Mike,

I hear you buddy, Perhaps Hobbico trying to push there new line of LiFe source batteries? http://www.lifesourcebatteries.com/index.html

Two years ago I changed all my models (non electrics) to A123’s from NoBs: http://www.hangtimes.com/a123_packs.html

MHO, A123 LiFe.... the best rx batteries around.

Regards.
Doug.
