It doesn't say what cells are used. But, it does state an 80amp continuous discharge, which suggests that this pack most likely uses good cells. That's nice that it does use battery bars and not thin nickel strips...

"Great Planes ElectriFly 8C 9.6V 3600mAh NiMH Dean Ultra"

That is the product name at the top of the page.

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

8C means 8 cells I'm pretty sure. I have seen it many times refer to how many cells and not the discharge rate.

Could be an explanation, but the C term is somewhat confusing IMO

Yes, it is. Some companies just don't get it, even though they sell Lipos...
