battery ? ..lol yes again

[bboybean]

I found 4 packs of never opened Nimh cordless phone batteries (3 cells 3.6v 600mah). Can I run it as 7.4v 1200mah (2 series 2 parelle) for saddle-like packs?. I tried searching for a difference between the AA size cells and C sized but couldnt find anything in terms of discharge rate (if thats even something).

Thanks Tons

in theory yes you can run them like that...just like you not sure of the discharge rate...probably not that much.

aa cells dont have a very high discharge rate, i think they are lower than a 2/3a cell

From Wiki

"The maximum discharge rate for a NiCd battery varies by size. For a common AA-size cell, the maximum discharge rate is approximately 18 amps; for a D size battery the discharge rate can be as high as 35 amps."

Im going to have some free time coming up so Ill see if It works, I already have the packs so its not much of a loss if it doesnt work. Im running a 75t on stock axial esc.

I made TX packs out of phone batteries. 11 minute charge and last most of the day.

Yeah im starting to think that would be a better use of them.
