I used NiMH for years mostly bought from Overlander.

I used to fly a LOT and on my 3D hacks would often have 6 or 7 flights.

On my small packs used for pylon and combat I replaced them every three years. On the larger ones every 4. I always cycled them once at the beginning of the season.

I can only ever recall one RX pack going bad on me and that was in a Zagi and I had forgotten to change it. It was 9 years old when it failed.
