Default 6000 mAh!!! $30!!! Have I lost my mind???

Well after much success with trying the 4500 mAh c cells I stumbled across these beauties...... $30 for 8 shipped to my door. They are going in my super in the next day or so, I havent charged them yet but the 4500's I had always took around 4750 when cycled. Heck even if they only take 5500 mAh I will be tickled. I was getting enough run time off of the 4500's in my super to run a whole comp and bash for an hour or so. These should put me in the 3 hr range. I will post charging results as soon as I charge them up, its a shame cause my new charger will only pull 5 amps.........thats not even a 1C charge. I also really like the color scheme, looks like a nuclear reactor or police tape. Should look cool under the knucles of my clod.

Features:

High quality C size 6000mAh NiMH Button Top rechargeable batteries.
Exact replacement for standard C size battery in almost all the devices.
Low internal resistance, ideal for rapid high current discharge.
Excellent battery cycle life: up to 1000 times.
Ideal for emergency lighting, portable devices, power tools or any high power device which it needs a reliable DC Portable Power.
The highest quality and lowest price guarantee.
Dimension: 25 Dia x 49 H mm.
Weight: 80g

That's cool. If/when I do my next round of making another super, I'll give these a try.

I've otherwise been converting over to 2/3A and lipo.

As I figured.

I have a 8000mAh pack in a Wheely King.

It's possible to drive until it's no longer fun.
