[quote="eaglemike"]NiMH and NiCad Batteries are one in the same except NiMH do not have memory and the NiCads do. From what I learned in my AP Chemistry Class my senior year (and this is pretty much out of the book in front of me) is that NiMH and NiCad batteries will get worse at holding a charge the more you discharge (or use) and recharge. NiMH and NiCad batteries are the worst thing to have, but they are cheap and easily fixable.

Understand the risks though. It has the possibility of exploading and that fire will not just be a regular fire, but a chemical fire. In Hawaii there is a big debate on li-polys. There is still that inherent risk. Look up li poly explosions on youtube.

Lipoly's come with greater risks. Do note that if it doesn't fit don't ever attempt to bend, shape or force the pack into places it doesn't want to. They require specific chargers. Spend a bit of money to get a decent charger for them. Do not use the simple wall chargers ever.

I can use one battery through an entire day of playing. Then again, I'm a semi-auto shooter for the most part.

I have adopted LiPo's for R/C use, and I love them.
aaaahhhhhhhhhhgh!
