Thanks Matt, that's probably the route I'll take.

  And his prices are hard to beat.  Still trying to kill the first pack after 3 years of solid flying. Closing in on 150 cycles now

    go to the Radical RC site. Radical is located near your neck of the woods. Dave Thacker
    has very good info there regarding NiMH Do's and Don'ts.

      Ok, I'm sure we're all intimately familiar with nicads, and lately, we've become all too familiar with lithium-ions and lithium polymers. (If I never hear about another lithium battery, it'll be too soon).

      What I'd like is some detailed specifics regarding the red headed stepchild of the battery world, the Nickel Metal Hydride.

      What's the deal with it's performace at low temps? What temps are we talking here?

      What's the scoop on fast charging, rates, overheating, etc?

      I'd like some experienced opinions on this.

      Thanks,
      -Mike
