On your Eneloop 2000 & Sanyo 2700 AA Tx packs, the label says ‘Slow charge 150ma, Fast charge 1.0 amps max. Why so much less than the 10% and 1C rates?
*A: High Impedance, High Capacity AA NiMH cells are very fragile with regards to thermal damage. On our end we’ve learned to take significant steps to protect them from thermal damage even in the assembly process by utilizing lower weld temps. These ultra high capacity (and very high impedance) cells are indeed unique and delicate.. and that’s why you’ll never see us offer the Sanyo Eneloop or 2700 AA NiMH cell assembled as a receiver pack since they just can’t handle high servo current loads, high temps and high vibration associated with using them on board an aircraft. Since your Tx pack runs at well under a half amp constant current load, and it isn’t ‘up there’ being beat to death by high vibration, wild and erratic servo current loading and suffering with 130 degrees of heat under that big ‘ol canopy, the Eneloops & Sanyo 2700’s can do a fine job keeping your Tx going all day on a fresh charge.*With regards to charging the 2000 & 2700 AA’s, even just a few minutes delay in shutdow
