I need help with this part as I have never even seen this shape battery before there is no markings but I put a C and a AA to compare the size of them
![](http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj70/northerngames/5-2.jpg)
I was happy when I first opened it as my first thought was they were C's and I found a RC duratrax 5000mah 7.2V with 6 C's that I could have just desoldered the +/- wires off the old pack and cut off the molex on the RC pack and then just soldered the +/- wire together and been golden with a true 5000mah battery.
After I peeled the outer layer off that covers the battery I found out real fast that they were not C's becuase of how long they were.
Now I am stumped as I stated prior I am just basic when it comes to battery's and I never seen these type batteries and have no clue what they even are.
I know there is AA AAA etc. is this like an A battery or a B battery I seriously have no clue.
also by the looks of them could someone tell me if they are Ni-MH or Ni-Cd, Li-On etc.
also if it could be explained easily what is the different between them?
EDIT: I searched the net for a few hours and am thinking these battery type are called 4/3A's as they are 65-67mm long and 17-18mm diameter.
should I replace them with the same size or just go with 6 energizer AA's rated at 2000mah each?
I can get 4 of them with a charger for $9.99 and there the best batteries I could find for the 360 controllers where most batteried die in a few days these alway's lasted me a few weeks on each charge so I know there good but not sure if there good to make a 6 cell battery pack out of.
I also was wondering if I used the AA's @ 2000mah each does that equal 6000mah total when completed as a battery pack of 6?
