Re: Battery question

As you discharge the battery at higher rates compare to its 1C, discharged in one hour, rate, the internal resistance of the battery becomes key. The commonly available technology with the lowest internal resistance is NiCd. Your best bet is to measure your current load and plan for a 10 cell NiCd stack that will keep it running for the desired amount of time.
