Hey guys, quick question.

Can size AA Ni-MH batteries be used in transmitters (radios). I was using them in my JR Pyton radio (junk). and had my car glitch amd runawy on me. Would it be becasue of the battries?

Will Ni-MH work in a Futaba 3PJS radio? I know its a bit older radio.

Last but not least... Whats the difference bettween AM and FM raidos..??

Any help or recomendations would be welcome...

Thanks again

Yes they can be used in your transmitter. Maybe you have a dead cell in your transmitter or bad connection. Best AA cells are Sanyo, Panasonic or GP cells

Yes. Also remember to keep them well charged because 8 NiMH's will put out (nominally) 9.6V whereas 8 alkalines will put out (nominally) 12V. Keeping the NiMH's charged is more important because most radios don't like to run under 9V.

false, the best rechargables that i know of and will forever buy are Powerex (Maha Energy) batteries. They are huge hit in the paintball market. The batteries actually hold a charge much much much longer than the stuff you can buy at your store like panasonic, energizer etc. and have the flattest discharge rate i have ever seen.

I have two 9.6v volts in one of my paintball loaders and haven't used it in months. Turned it on and lasted me about 10-15 games until it finally needed to be recharged, everyone was impressed that it lasted that long in relation to alkalines.
