You folks told me where to buy the batteries (thanks!) Now I need some help with the charger. I bought a Dymond Delta Peak Mini Charger with my Lite Stick. Will it charge NiMh cells? Nothing about it on Dymond's site.
With every visit to this board another drop on nitro evaporates from my life. LOL

My experience is that any peak charger that charges nicads will do NIMH cells as well. Some articles in the RCmicroflight have cautioned against fast charging, more recent ones have said it's OK. I try to leave my fast charger on trickle charge overnight when ever possible just to be safe. However I have quick charged at the field a few times with no obvious bad effects. Only time will tell.....
Hope this helps!

It appears to be VERY important to slow charge NiMH pack for the first couple of charges. This info came from RadicalRC. I believe I have ruined a 280 mah pack by fast charging on the first charges.
