[TANKS] Transmitter Battery

["WJ" <WJ-at-vdtogt.nl>]

I saw the Receiver battery post and was wondering the following:
- I've developed a preference for NiMH batteries, are they in the same
league as NiCad? I love the no-memory 1-hour charging, and had some great
results using these in my digital camera and X-box wireless controllers.

And while I'm at it: my transmitter uses a total of 8 AA batteries, but
I've never really checked how long these last?   Does anyone ever need to
swap transmitter batteries during battle?

Regards,
WJ



If you don't mind me asking:  How long do transmitter
