I've bought the Maha 2500mAh AA's from them, they seem to be pretty good, though I haven't tried them in a sub model.

You will find Maha 2700s and 2900s from another brand on the same site.

I use standard NiMH AA

[color=#000000]I use standard NiMH AA with "decent" capacity (>2000 mAH)
I buy them anywhere I see them advertized, but I try to get
brand names (like varta, panasonic etc.)

I build small models, with small motors.

I use, Lipos were space is tight, Lead acid when it isn't and need to add ballast and NIMH for everything else. AA cells cant supply large currents like C cells so a only suitable for lower Amp draw motors.

I use NiMH cells purchased

I use NiMH cells purchased from Batteries America, I buy whichever sized cells best fit the needs of each sub and make up my own battery packs. My 'favorite' pack is a 12volt 4Ah pack that I made from 10 4/3rds sized AA cells....that pack allows me to run something like an OTW Type VII or Seehund around 3 hours.

Hi Lobo,

Thank you for the information, it was a big help. In fact they
have the best deal that I was able to find. I did find a deal
on some Panisonic batteries that had 4000 mah,however they
wanted $60.00 for 10 cells so I had to pass on the deal.

Thank you for your help,
