I just got a twist 3D .40 size plane, and wanted to get the [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LM0370&P=3]Hydrimax battery[/link]. I was curious about the 750mA limit discharge rate, I will be using it to power these http://www.servocity.com/html/s3001_...l_bearing.html which draw (as I was told) 250mA in full deflection, so say I use all 4 channels at the same time, will I have a problem?

Anyone, anyone at all?

I have no idea why they are limiting the discharge to 750 mA. A general rule of thumb says that NiMh cells can discharge up to 2C or 1650 * 2 = 3.3 A without ill effects. Regardless of what it says you could not have a more typical light load of a receiver and four general purpose servos. If the pack wouldn't handle this for a load not many would get sold.

I wouldn't worry about it for your purposes.

I forgot to give you the address for Sanyo's web site.

Input a cell and you can see the charge and discharge graphs for that particular cell. Takes a lot of the guess work out of it.

If you'd like what I consider a better place to buy packs it's NoBs Batteries. They explain what cell is in each pack and its useage.

Hydrimax from me do not get any respect they not not peak charge well they are just IMHO %@#*(^))
Having vented I fill better thanks.....they are derated because they have to be...
I recommend Sanyo HR3U and be safe follow John advice go to Sanyo web and see ....BTW i can not find a spec. on Hydri
