Default NiMH Experience

Hi everyone,

Can some of you give your experience with NiMH batteries on Rx and ECU system?

Thanks,
Rick.

I had been using them on Rx and ECU.
Just pay attention when you charging them. Charge NiMH in low current. I charge my ECU 3300 at .50mah- 1. It take awhile to get fully charge.
If you charge at higher rate. It only can charge 30-40% of the capacity.

I've been using them on the RX in D/Fs for years with no problems. I have one for a JetCat ECU that has worked well also.

Been using 6 cell, 3300mAH NiMH cells in electric RC cars. These battery packs are matched cells and are offered by SMC Batteries. Can be charged at 6 AMPS! Priced at around $40 - $45 per pack.

Available at you LHS, I'm sure.
