      2000mah ?? For AAA’s ?? I dont think so… maybe for AA’s yeh. Highest mah NIMHs AAA’s that are readily available are about 700/800mah available from places like jaycar and on the net. The higher the Mah the best. Best charger is one that isnt too slow and isnt too quick so it will charge the battery properly. When buying the batteries ask wherever you are a suitable charger and youll be right.

      If the two largest battery companies in the world can’t do it, i doubt anyone can.

      The highest capacity batteries jaycar has is 800mAh.

      ALL rechargeable batteries (Nicad/NiMH) are 1.2V.

      The galvanic pairing determines the potential
      difference (voltage); immutable basic chemistry. :blush:

      haha … sh*t, I work with eletronics, popped some good marks in chemistry back in high school,
      but I’ll be buggered if I could ever remember
      “garlavonic pairing” 🙂

      But to answer your question.. the absolute BEST batteries that you can get for your mini-Z are Sanyo Ni-MH 800.
      I have done absolutely no research to justify it, you’ll just have to take the info second hand from some stranger I met in Hong Kong who races mini-Z’s in international competetions.
      I have some in mine and I haven’t found anything better myself.
