rechargable battery or akaline battery

[yeow]

hi

I am flying a power glider, so my head itch, and thinking abt using 8 AA battery
currently i am using rechargeable ni-mh battery, but i think carrying a 12v lead battery around is troublesome.


Can anyone enlighten me will there be any different? beside of the cost.

[yeow_hwee]

Use rechargable, its cheaper in the long run

[yeow_hwee]

Unless you are flying handlaunch gliders and i know people who buy the 3v lit photo batt for cameras to power their receiver.

Then again, its kinda redundant with today's lipo technology

hehe, thanks.

coz i thinking 8 AA cells is easier than having many 8-cell rechargeable battery.

why don't you get AA sized rechargables? i use them in my raptor. the current supply isn't good for high drain applications though. will upgrade to sub-c when i have the money

WHat is your meaning of "Power glider"?

If you're referring to using AA drycells to power the motor, I dun think the AA drycells can sustain the amp delivery, even if it's a small 300 size motor.

If you're talking about powering your radio equipment onboard, drycell can do the job, but with rechargable technology these days, why bother? basically a pack of 4x2300mah sanyo rechargable can sustain you for a whole day.....unless u are using digital servos...

if you are using the 8-cell to power the motor, then go for lipo lah, light weight and long flight time.

hmmm yeow post a question...
francis87 post a thank-you to the response......
hmmm

sorry just couldn't help it..... now back to the topic......

So can we conclude that Francis87 is Yeow and vice versa?

Complicated...

Anyways, drycells for motor applications not very advisible lar....unless u want to try out the newer energiser lithiums for high drain applications..
$$$$$$$$

[yeow]

thanks. I shall tell that to the other Mr Yeow
=)
