Just got thre folloowing email back from the battery people...

Hello
Yes 4 amps will be ok, we do 7.2v 2400mah as packs made up, we also have 2400 AA with tags.
All the 2700 we do are normal AA type with no tags, you can fit two packs in parallel but it might be better to charger each pack up separately before use.

Thanks Paul

Working on the fact that two packs of 7.2v AA are about the same weight as 4 "C" cells for anything running motors drawing less than 8 amps you will end up with a light weight 4.8ah cell Pack...

Sounds like it might just work, I'll keep you posted.

Dear All

           We have our own brand of hybrid AA cells, as discussed by Colin have a look at our web site this may be the item you are looking for

Aldi knock out 4-packs of 2100MAh AAs at a very reasonable price, and 7dayshop.com do a nice 8-cell charger/discharger (mains or 12 volt) which appears to monitor individual cells.

If you are looking for high discharge but small cells then I suggest you have a look on here, http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/main.asp?sid=682874&pgid=loosecells&chem=NIMH especially at the Elite 1500 2/3 A cells. I use these for micro-racing (400 class) and they discharge at 20 Amps comfortably, are very light and I get a good 6 minutes at high discharge on a 3200kv brushless motor. Other than the Elite 1500's there are the GP 2000's or 1700AUP's and HR 1950 FAUP's so there is plenty of choice if it's weight and high discharge you are worried about. I have used this guy on many occasions and he delivers from the States in about a week, sometimes less at very competitive prices. I even e-mailed him to say that after 3 weeks my cells hadn't arrived (lost in post) and he sent replacements foc without any questions! (They weren't insured either)
Cheers,
Ian.
