ProTek RC 6-Cell 7.2V Speed Intellect NiMH Battery (IB1600, TRX Connector)
Takes ~1550mah charge on my LRP Pulsar Touch, with a discharge capacity of ~1400 at 7.8 Amps, which is excellent. Use these to race my Ken Block 1/16 rally car on carpet and I get around 14 minutes of hard racing run time. These are better than Lipo as the 1/16 rally really needs the weight of a nimh pack to keep the rear end planted.
