It's a matter of size due to energy density. Both nimh and lipo can fit a fixed amount of power in a fixed size.

Take IB (Intellect Battery) nimh, for instance. The standard sub-c size cell can hold 4200mah of power in that size cylinder. The 2/3A size cell is physically a smaller cylinder that will only hold 1200mah of the same power, simply because you can only fit a certain amount of power within a certain space.

If the Mini-T had the room to mount a sub-c size battery pack, you could definitely use 3300mah cells. It just lacks the physical space for it.

Hope that helps.

Electronics run on smoke... if you let the smoke out, they stop working.
