I want to get a failsafe and was looking at Tower Hobbies at the Futaba failsafe but it says it won't work with alkalines or NIMH rechargeable batteries? Does it really make a difference on the batteries very much. I want to buy some rechargeable batteries from Walmart or Target but all they have now are NIMH one's. Any other failsafe recommendations that are cheap. Thanks all.

Batteries don't matter. The failsafe is pluged into the receiver not the batteries.

Yeah I know the failsafe is plugged into the receiver, but it is also there to activate if my batteries get to low. Therefore if I'm using batteries they don't recommend I don't want it not turning on or turning on after only a couple runs on fresh batteries. Thanks for the help.

Different battery technologies have different discharge characteristics, thus the disclaimer on the failsafe.

I use this one from Ofna with NiMH cells with good results
