I have read the thread Ed and all was not revealed.

I have been down to <9V and had my transmitter (9C) shutdown unexpectedly thank goodness it was while I was flying on the sim. That causes me concern about going below 9V basis peronal experience. I see Geist says 8.8V, I can probably live with that as I think the actual shutoff was at about 8.5V, I just am afraid of a sudden drop from 8.8 -shutoff before I can get my plane down. I drop 500-800 mah in the 1st couple of flights, that is what scares me. So if I am reading correctly the curves moves sharply at the beginning of discharge but then should decrease to a more level discharge rate from ~9.6V - ~8.8V. Point is can I expect more than the 30-40 minutes I get from 10.8-9.8V from 9.8V to 8.8V? That should be a lot of milliamp left after the 500 I lose from 10.8-9.8. I would hope there would be 1500++ from 9.8 to 8.8V of 8.4 is minimum. I reckon I just need to test it and see, but as Geist said about high speed snaps.. Im skeered.

The other issue is memory. Does NiMH have memory like NiCad? The supposed local experts say no, but I am not so sure about that especially since I cycled the battery and saw such a big increase in charge, discharge, charge after a few cycles... Any fact based comments on that?
