Speaking of Eneloops. I put my Yak away around the end of September last year with a fully charged 4.8v Eneloop on the igniton battery. Pulled the plane out yesterday and checked batteries for the first time this year. The Eneloop was at 5.2v. Not shappy at all for a nimh.
That's the nice thing about them.
They are stated to hold 80% of the charge after 12 months (from memory)
They are cheap, simple, easy to use as ignition batteries and deadset reliable
