its the same as a normal nimh pack but its lipo
not much " cons to it"
pretty basic
pro, other the the obvious which are size and weight, would be they last a lot longer depending on the size

The biggest con with any type of rechargeable battery is you have to charge them. I use 4 regular non-rechargeable Duracell AAA for my receiver pack. I don't like to use rechargeables in radio equipment because they tend to run out very suddenly when they do which can result in a crash. Non-rechargeables run down gradually so you get some fair warning it's happening. That's my reasoning anyway. The batteries last a long time also so it is cost effective.

No. NiMH do not have the memory effect. What to avoid with NiMH is discharging them too far.
