In this video we will be having a closer look at AA NiMH batteries and find out whether they are obsolete nowadays. That means I will compare them to Li-Ion and LiPo batteries in order to find out all their advantages/disadvantages. Topics will include safety, price, size, weight, proper charging and discharging. Let's find out!
