            Those batts from aldi are good value.
            the better rechargeables now are the ones that come charged and use the normal charger for charging, but hold their charge better so they are still 80% afterone year.
            Most of the time our batteries end up flat becuase we forgot to charge them, or its was too long since they were charged (becuase the charge leaks away). These new generation niMH are gong to take over and that is why good convedntional ones are getting really cheap.
            Trade names are instant and eneloop to name two.

            so far they don't seem to come in soldered packs yet, or with solder tags.

                These packs can be bought on ebay.. I did buy a pack over a year ago from a seller.. all made up, and he made for different types for different transmitters. I have to say, that they are extremely good in holding their charge. I do like to muck about on the cars every so often.. even once every six months, and the charge is still there, and holding well.

                here is a link from a seller, not sure if it was him I bought them from though.

                  great, made up packs that hold their charge.
                  I'll get one of them for my spektrum tx. I think this is safer and probably better than fitting a lipo as if you were to leave your tx on with a lipo in it, it could be goodbye tx (and lots of other things nearby).

                  They don't do the spektrum plug, but I have some of those somewhere.
