This brings up another question, I have been flying some large planes with
2600 nimh flight and ignition packs. They are the most current cells
that can supply over 5C (I don't need that much current)
I am amazed at the daily loss of charge, they lose over 600mah per day
just sitting there!!!! You have to charge these things every time you go flying
if it has been more than a day.
Is this normal with the low resistance cells?

Ni-MH cells don't like to sit. It's a chemistry thing. Charge 'em and use 'em immediately!

The 600mAh loss/day is a bit extreme though, and I'd look for a bad
cell in the pack.
