5 cell AA pack?

[darkslayor24]

i was wondering (as i have some rechargeable AA battery's laying around) ik that it can be done, and fairly easily to. i was just wondering would 5 AA battery's be to much power? to high voltage? and if it can be done, could i just plug the pack into my normal battery charger?

That's what I run on my savage and jato. 5 cell packs that I made out of 2650Mah duracells:

I just use my peak charger to charge them like I would a typical 2/3A hump pack. They put out the same voltage per cell, but I don't believe they will dump out the current as fast as the fatter 2/3A cells. For my stuff, they work great. I can run all day long without thinking about my receiver pack.

I also run them in my transmitter, use my peak charger to charge it as well.

These are AA packs:

Yes Old I have been doing the same thing for a couple years now in my Savage and in my Jammin truggy. I agree with a 2500mah and it is an all day run on them. I run a 9 cell pack in my Futaba 3pks transmitter and I get great run times on it too. I also think the 2/3 will dump the juice out quicker too but for me it works just fine and I like the longer run time. Now if I was racing and worrying about weight then I'd go back to the 2/3 cells.
