Are these AA's reliable?
Good Morning RC Tankers!
I'm looking for some high quality rechargeable AA's for my VS Tanks and HL xmitters, I came across these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/100-Premium-AA-2...#ht_2701wt_905
And these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/14-pcs-AA-2A-380...#ht_1438wt_905
What do you think? I am also looking for some good quality chargers that will preserve the battery life as long as possible. I have very little hobby experience so any input would be welcome.

RE: Rechargeable Batteries
OK if you need that many. If they are rechargeble, why buy a hundred of them? Don't use that many in my camera. My coppertops do fine for my RC TXs and don't need to change them more that a couple times a year. Now if they had a deal on 3.6 V AA's it would be a different matter.

RE: Rechargeable Batteries
Hey a lesson i learned don't buy normal NIMH AA batteries get the low self discharge ones they hold like 80 to 85% of full charge after a year with the normal ones they lose 3% charge a day!!
Once i switched to the low discharge type i now will never use normal NIMH again!!
You can charge your batteries and go months later and play with your tanks without charging them every few weeks!

Alot of my new radios just use AA's. it is actually easier than worrying about if your TX pack is charged. So i just always keep a new pack of good store bought AA's on hand. My Futaba skysport 2.4's onl;y use 4 AA cells. thats great. I get days of use out of 4 batteries. much better than the old 8 cell TX packs (Nicd).

You can go for a better name brand AA but i had these for like 2 months and they seem to be good.
Should try em out.
Get a 4AA holder for your 977 set it to .5 or .6 amps and you will be ready to go!

Send me a good link Steve and I will look into it. I do have a good AA charger and have some Tenergy cells but they are the fast drain type. that is what sent me back to the store bought AA's

Use your super brain as i said above all those AA chargers they sell over heat the batteries and destroy them... Buy a 4 cell AA holder i think radio shack has them If not i think i have one you can have.
