Are high current NiMH D cells an option?

195.93.21.2

My experiments with the common 2.8Ah NiMH D cells show that faced with a 2 amp load (two 26 in parallel) they can't cope at all, and voltage collapses fast. Same with a single 26 at 1 amp. There are some (expensive) 9Ah and even 12Ah NiMH D cells on the market - are these worth thinking about or not? Anybody tried them? They'd have to perform considerably better under load than the 2.8Ah ones. There must be limits to the current these NiMHs can provide.
