I've been using NimH's for the last 10 years, trickle-charging them overnight before I fly the next day. Never had a problem. I use 5 cell Hydrimax 2000 mah NimH's. Why is it necessary to charge a NimH at the field?
However, if NimH's are left unused on the shelf for months they will self-discharge and die. I will have to agree that LiFe's are a great way to go. But old habits die hard and so half of my planes still have NimH's. Tried and true and reliable. My jet, however, has dual redundant LiFe's.
