[NSRCA-discussion] AAA NimH batterys

[Wayne Galligan]

Ed,

I have used the 3A 720 mil cells only for smaller plane applications.  I
think what Bob said will ring true for me also.  However... I believe Keith
Black was using those as back ups in a two battery/switch combo.   He was
trying to get his to balance so he used the extra pack as ballast and a
backup
