Question What AAA's is everyone using these days?

Hey guys,

I havn't seen many posts up lately on what AAA batteries people are using lately.

I am looking for the same thing everyone else wants, High mAh & high Output.

I am currently using the Powerex Imedion 950mAh AAA's
Website

I like their mAh capacity & the fact that they don't lose much juice after being charged so they can stay stored @ full power for longer periods of time.

My 4 sets that I rotate through are about 2 years old now, so I am looking to either get more, or something better.

What is everyone using these days?

Personally I run r1wurks 900 and 750. Great battery with great power, run time and long life.

Yeah those are great, the trp 747 are also really good. Check which ever batteries were received by your local hobby shop most recently, the less time they sit in the package the better they will most likely be. Usually as long as the batteries are fresh they are pretty even. Also you should discharge them after every run and you should have about 8 sets so you don't cycle each set more than twice in a race night, after that they start to loose punch.

*edit*

Also you forgot to mention if you were running mod or stock. For mod try to stick with the 900's, the peak 900 are also real good. If you are running stock go with any battery in the 700 mah range. Be careful though with some of the 900's (peak, and R1) I have found that they sometimes give less than 900mah, I even have a R1 750 pack that has 900mah and a 900 pack that has 720 mah.

Peak 900 batteries are the best AAAs I have used. They have good run time with brushed mod motors (can make 10+ mins) and are punchy. I have been using the same cells since the beginning of last year and they still work great!

I run mostly the R1 990s. But I have some Atomic VP 800s that are pretty good too.
