I'm just trying to follow along here and am a little confused.

When you say you were running AA's, does that mean NiCD/MH, or regular Alkalines? IIRC alkalines have a steady dicharge curve so the voltage drops steadily as they are discharged. Plus, they don't like high currents too much as opposed to NiCD/MH.

Second, were you running the built-in BEC at the same time as the AA's? The Warrior manual says you can run an Rx pack to help bolster the BEC for higher currents (I personally wouldn't do this), but not if those AA's are Alkaline.
