Batterie life span.

[Espeefan]

The best NiMh packs I have ever owned came from Duratrax, and any pack that used GP or Sanyo cells. I've had mediocre luck with Traxxas packs - the ones used for the mini RC trucks. Their fullzied sub-C cell packs had very low capacity. The worst battery packs I've ever bought were from Venom. If there is one thing I will say about NiMh cells today, it's this. The quality isn't there like it used to be. I don't know what happened, but most NiMh cells today seem to have less capacity than they did back in the hay day.

Now days I use LiPos for everything. I waited a long time before giving them a try. I'll never go back now. Nothing compares. In fact all the old NiMh packs I used to run have been collecting dust for so long now that I doubt they'll ever come back to life. I've been buying all of my LiPo packs from MaxAmps. Some don't think they are worth the money, but I've been very happy with the performance of them. I hear lots of good things about Gens Ace LiPo, which are more affordable.
