looking to get new battery will the 4600 be good or should I go with 5000 ? will these fit the mt ? I noticed the new one has two wires coming out of it can I charge it just like the stock battery or do I have to charge thru end with white connecter? can I cut off the white connecter or is it needed? my charger charges thru small connecter not the white end

The 5000 will be a tight fit. The 4600 would be a better fit. The white plug is a charge plug, but you can charge through either end. I would leave the white plug on there, in case you ever need to charge from it.

I have DDM 5000MAH hump pack for my MT. Being Ni-Mh how high can I charge this thing? How long to charge is? Does it go flat like the Li-Po's?

For the first few cycles I wouldn't charge at over 1.5A. You can charge up to 5A, but I generally stay with slow charging. They'll be better off in the long run. They'll take more abuse than LiPo's, but not much more. You can run them until they're completely dead without any issues.
