What's the difference other than the memory effect in these two types of batteries? I've heard that the Ni-Mh doesn't put out as much power but it lasts longer.
A lot of Nimh cells just don't have the "ummph" to crank springs over an M100. If you get quality cells though, they should perform as well as Nicads. Nimh also has a higher discharge rate than Nicads. If you leave them alone, the Nimh well be fully discharged in a shorter amount of time and requires it to be stored with some charge. Nicads should be properly discharged before storage.

It all really depends. Battery technology has come so far. The best thing to look for is mah rating and sustained C-discharge rate. Anything over a 20A discharge will produce enough power. (As some tests that have been done have indicated that the average draw for an AEG upgraded with an M120 spring is from 15A to 18A sustained draw on full auto.) You might want to ask Glenn about this. He's Mr. Battery Expert.
since this a battery discussion, what ya'll think about Lithium Ions??

Rumor is that they kick some serious butt, but you need an expensive charger in order to use them. This is the only reasion that I haven't converted to lithium-ion yet. Cook knows a lot about them, hes been useing them for a while.

I dunno what to do really... I've got a TM M4 with an M130 spring in it, and I'm using a Sanyo 9.6v 1700mah battery. Basically, I think it'd be nice to have a Ni-Mh pack so that I wouldn't have to worry about memory effect, but not at the cost of poor performance.

I may convert a little bit sooner at those prices.
