Wondering of any feedback on Eneloop batteries - a form of NiMH that a couple people I know around here swear by - saying they hold a charge over an extended period when compared to most NiCad/NiMHs.

I'm thinking about putting together a pack of 5 AAA (6V) for Spektrum receivers to try out for 1/2A - I'm sure still not as light as LiPo w/regulator or LiFe equipped - but more user friendly(?) ... or not?

BTW, Tower also has a tiny 200 MAh LiFe pack that I haven't heard anything about or tried yet; historically speaking, it seemed short order that my 250 MAh rated NiCads never gave more than half that 250 when cycled...
