maH = milliampere-hour
I just use AA rechargeables in my Transmitter. Some will take a Transmitter pack, but I would guess most stock radios will not.

Motogod, some Futaba & Spektrum Transmitters will take packs, not sure about others though.
As to batteries, use the highest MAh rated Rechargeable NiMh AA's u can get. I run Duracel 2650MAh NiMh AA's. They last a fair old while. Perhaps 12 - 14 hours between charges under constant use in my transmitter, but thats a guess as i have not "Timed" it !!! lol

I use either my Energizer 2450mah or the new Tenergy 2650 mah AAs and get about the same urn times. They run a VERY long time. I use the same in my cars until I get RX packs for them....and that is mostly to get 6V out of them instead of 4.8V.
