    Battery compatibility for WLTOYS F959 plane

    I just bought a WLTOYS F959 plane that takes a 7.4v 300mah battery. Can I get a larger battery to increase the flying time and where is the cheapest place to get the batteries besides China?Also how long should the flying time be on the stock battery?

    Should I use this 2010 quick charger on a modern battery?

    The battery is a 7.2v, 6 cell 1400mAh Ni-MH. The charger specs 1500-5000mAh and good for Ni-CD or Ni-MH. I’ve been charging the battery overnight using the 100mAh trickle charger. That takes up to 14 hours to top off. I’m wondering, is my charger outdated for modern Ni-MH batteries? Will a...

    I need to charge a 14.8v 6950mAh battery for my starter box. What would can you recommend? Here's the older setup I've been using: Is this charger okay to use?
