Why are you going to nimhs? Please tell me it is for a non rc related project! I am sure that you must have fooled with nimhs before, and you know that they are less than optimum for the rc enviorment, mainly due to weight, and poor discharge capabilities compared to lipo, etc.
Don't worry Linc. I am not giving up on Lipos. That's for sure. They are FAR superior to NIMH packs anyday.

I do want to learn more about the Characteristics and Behavior of Nimh's over their cycle life. The ever Quest for more knowledge. Plus, I'm trying to help out a friend that isn't ready to take the Lipo plunge just yet.

Yes, I did run Nimh's before Lipo. I always thought they tended to run a tad on the HOT side and was rather disappointed at the runtime I got.

Also it's kinda hard to run a really demanding setup with them since their amp delivering ability is somewhat limited.
