I am using enloope's in a 4 cell pack in all my contest planes ( 2 Perfects and a Shadow). I am using airtronics 761's and JR 368's servo's. They charge out in all cases right on the money and it would appear that I use up about 500 Mah per hour or in Voltage reading they come off the charger at 5.8v settle down to about 5.72 v and after about an hour of 1 minute tasks they are down to roughly 5.3v. I have not measured the internal cel resistance (not sure of an exact procedure to be honest) however when I get them home and cycle them I always have at least 1300 MAh left after an hour. I have NOT run them much more than an hour and a half since these are new batteries and I have little time to do a full test however at 300Mah discharge they take 3 hours to reach a full discharge.
I also use them in my TX packs on my stylus. The cells are a very tight fit for this application and you have to modify the cartridge to get them to fit. I think in general although they work well in this application giving me about 6 hours of run time I would just use a 3000mah Lipo battery instead. It would be easier to fit and it would last all day. I tested the self discharge rates of the RX packs and after 6 months the pack was still at 5.6v which was reason enough for me to try them since I can literally store them all winter without fear of a deep self discharge. I can now charge--- store---- fly although I am religious about checking voltage between flights. Costco is selling these batteries cheap and they appear to be working quite well though I have seen sanyo with a 3500 MAH battery as well. I think this has typical self discharge features though. Let me know if you need more data. On Sun, May 11, 2008 at 5:43 AM, Robert P Buxton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Has anyone on the exchange had any first hand experience with these > batteries.
