I have bought my last batteries from dealers on Ebay. For your plane, an 800mah 4.8 pack is all you need for the RX, and a 600 or 800 MAfor the TX. The NIMH batterys havea lot more capacity and the same or lesser costthan the nicads and canbe charged on the wall wart that came with you TX. You do have to becareful to not leave the packs on the charger for to long, if they are starting to get warm to the touch, callit good at that point. Don't plug in on and forget it for a couple days. They don't take kindly to that.

My TX batteries ar a couple years old now and aredoing just fine. I last charged my TX well over a month back and had one flight on it. I just turned it on and its at 9.8V now.It has a 2300 mah NiMh with a 3Epower brand. My reciver batteries now are 2500mah and Dahann brand. The rx batteriesended up at $10 each including shipping. The TX was somewhare around $12to $15 .Even though my TX battery had a "universal" plug on it, I had to splice a Futaba end to the batteryleads. THe RX batterieshave a standard plug, like afutaba J with thebladecut off.

I have been happy with those batteries from a performance view, and extreamly happyfrom a costview. Both a TX and RX battery of higher capacity than stock batteries for aboutthe price of a stock 600ma receiver battery.
