Battery Question...

How much better are the 120 and 150mah nimh batteries sold here compared to the stock 50mah nicd? How much more run time? How does the punch of the nimh compare with the nicd? I get about 6 min. total run time (about 4 min. until I feel a decrease in power) with the stock battery. It seems to have very nice punch also. I want to order a 150mah nimh from here, but I want to know approx. how much run time ill be getting, and how much of that time will be at full power, basicly, I dont want a battery with 15min. total run time, but only 10min. at full power and have to spend the other 5min. running in circles waiting for it to die. Thanks...

With the NiMH, you can charge it whenever. They don't have the tendancy to develop "battery memory." I bought a few from Batteries America and I get almost twenty minutes of fun out of them on a 90 second charge. They do start to slow down after that, but I usually don't play with it for more than twenty minutes anyway.
