2/3 of an N cell... I have found these to be very reliable and true to the
claimed capacitance... I have used these in my hand launched R/C gliders for
the last 12 years... voltage is not a problem as you can make up whatever
you want for cell count (1.2v/cell) ... I have not yet tried the Hydried
cell yet but would like to :) maybe next summer???...

Dumb question??? what happens if I replace the cap in a solar engine with a
small Ni-cad cell??? I have wanted to try this but have yet to sacrifice one
of my packs...
