  Hi!
  Must get new battery for TX. Current one is down to 500mAh
  (from  750mAh) and lasts only for 2.5 hours. I can get 1100 mAh
  NiCd or  1650 mAh NiMH (both Sanyo) at the same price. Which one
  is better  for TX?

Hi Arne,

If you want top quality TX pack, NoBS Batteries has about the best around.
http://www.hangtimes.com/txpacks.html

I just picked up a 2500 MAh NiMh pack from him.  He makes it up to order
with any connector in any shape.  He also had 2000, and 1600 MAh packs, but
I tend to fly all day so I wanted the larger pack.

I had picked up a 2000 mah NiMh pack from Armondotech, via e-bay.  Didn't
make it through 1 year.  It was cheap, but ..

For RX packs I use 1100 MAh AA NiMh packs planes that are tight on space and
2100 MAh A packs in planes with more space where the weight will be useful.
I am still using standard servos so I don't have the high draw that digitals
can pull, but I doubt these packs would have any problem handling the load.
I fly all day and have never run one of these packs down.

Ditto, I run the large NoBS packs in my 8U and 9Z and can pretty much
run a whole weekend without charging the Tx. I can definately fly all
day without worrying about charging the Tx. I also use their Rx packs
in my nitro helis and they are built very tough. Never had a problem
even with some hard nose in crashes. Only real disadvantage is that
the wal wart charger becomes useless for charging the Tx battery (too
low amperage) and you really need a good NiMH peak charger to not
abuse the pack.
