    Need battery charging info...

    I haven't been keeping up with my batteries for quite a while and today I decided to revive a couple of Tenergy 7.2v 3800mAh NiMh packs. The first one showed a low reading on my Super Brain 977 and took a charge with no problem. The other matching pack only read 0.00 and when I hit "Charge" it...

    Panasonic Eneloop 4th Gen Batteries...

    I've been a big fan of Eneloop rechargeable batteries for a while now. They not only offer great capacity at 2000mAh, but are capable of holding 70% of their charge over 5 years! To top it off, the latest 4th generation Panasonic Eneloops are able to be recharged 2,100 times! Click to continue

    A good receiver battery pack...

    Hello again, I am looking for a good but under £20 Nimh 4 cube battery pack that's at least 6.0v preferably 7.2v. just to make it clear: I AM STAYING AWAY FROM LIPO'S NO MATTER HOW "SAFE" OR "EASY TO USE" THEY MAY BE. Also just to make it clear again: it has to look like this: oo...

    lipo charger info needed.

    does any one know of a good quality quad charger that will cycle lipos? Also, I've heard that the Hitec X4 will cycle lipos but I can't seem to confirm this. Does anyone have an X4 that can confirm?

    LiPo Charger Power Calculators

    Revolectrix has a whole host of power calculators for not only their LiPo chargers but also a generic one as well. It can be a really handy tool to have so I thought Id share. Theyve also added a new one for the Dual PL8 charger (I totally want one!) http://www.revolectrix.com/Calculators_main.htm

    Hyperion Charger

    So i've had a venom pro charger for about 2 years now and it's served me well. To fully charge a 3s it's taking about an hour, I'd like to speed that up just a little bit.
