True enough, Simon. But if you use large enough NiMh cells, there is
more than enough ability to deliver the kinds of currents we need. I
have always thought it was silly to see people using 4-cell AA or
even AAA NiMh packs in big TD ships, then adding lead to balance. I
always try to get as close as possible to the CG I want using
batteries rather than lead. In the Pike Superior, for example, I use
4-cell packs of GP2200. WIth a JR R770 up front and maybe ~3/4 to 1
oz of lead taped to the side of the pack, you are usually right on
the CG. There is no current draw issue with those GP2200 cells! ;-)

In a TX, NiMH offers superior performance given the relatively low
current consumption. On the other hand, NiMH is inferior on the RX
side when current demands are high when compared to NiCD.

Hi!
Must get new battery for TX. Current one is down to 500mAh (from
750mAh) and lasts only for 2.5 hours. I can get 1100 mAh NiCd or
1650 mAh NiMH (both Sanyo) at the same price. Which one is better
for TX?
