Try using Farnell or CPC.com, similar but not the same - they're the people we use....

What are you running, the F cell Nimh are not designed for more than 1C discharge so 13 amps for a 13000mAH

Dare I say Li-po gives more bang for the buck these days ok2

Hi Nick,

Motors, 2 Turnigy 5065 380kv turning 2 75mm 4 blade props

Is for model lifeboat 1/12th severn,

So F cell should give suitable enough run time. Lipo no thanks mate, yeah they are cheaper but not for me at this time.

LiPos if mistreated can certainly give you a big bang for your bucks. John.

Like you say, damm expensive.
Sadly. Farnell stop at D.  High capacity, but still D.  Higher capacity NiMH have a lower discharge rate than their lower capacity same size versions, according to legend and the data sheets I have read.
http://www.component-shop.co.uk/html/single_cells.html  for a more direct link to a cheaper one.  Relatively cheaper.
