My batteries have died, so insted of throwing away my NiMH's I will recycle them properly, they would have wanted it that way :( . Now I must save up for a new 2400 pack, i have 24 cents so far (no joke) so at this rate in a few years I will get new bateries, yippie!!. But what do you guys think about these batteries ?Click Here (http://www.integy.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=E34003&sid=1f5fyHSi)
They seem to have good numbers and a great price.

And BTW: these were the first generation NiMH, when no one knew how to charge them, so I used to monitor them for an hour till a voltage drop.

Well, you are on chat with me right now, but you are not talking. Sorry to hear about the loss of your 3K's *tear*.
But the reason they look so great, is because they take the average Volts during a discharge for a given amount of time(not the whole time).
PLus, they discharge at 20Amps, which, i think somehow affects the V output also.
These cells are good for the money, that is about it, they do not print the Internal Resistance on their labels either, they do not use the Turbo Matcher4(which they should, it is the best one)but they use "Software" from it.
SirSpeedy, gave a good reply to another thread like this, he said he found where they got the V#, but could not get them to go as long as they said it did.
All in all, they are good packs for the money, you get what you pay for in this hobby.

And don't expect Integy to contact you ever unless you post in the Forum and make lots of noise! :)
