| I read yesterday that these batteries can handle a constant | 10 amp draw pretty well. Actually I saw a graph that showed | their voltage drop curve posted on this group, I think it | was a 2002 post. I want to make a battery pack for my GWS | slow stick from these. I plan to use the simple conventional | (spring on the negative end) battery holder. Does anyone see | any problems with this idea?
Those holders aren't meant for high current. They'll probably waste a lot of power, perhaps stop working in the middle of a flight. You'd be better off soldering it into a pack.
I've never gotten high currents out of the high capacity commercial NiMH AA batteries. But 10A is only 4C for a 2650 mAh pack, so maybe it's not really that high.
I doubt the 2650 mAH AA cells existed in 2002, so whatever you read probably either wasn't from 2002 or mentioned a different battery.
