HI Everyone,
I am new in to the Hobby (I owned a Nitro HPI Savage x 4.6). Everything is running smooth but I have no idea how handle battery charges.
I am planning on getting a “smart” charger soon but until then I have to charge these batteries with the charges that came with them (HPI)
• 7.2v 2000mAh Ni-Hm for the roto start 2
• 1.2v 1300mAh NiCd for the Pro glow igniter
• 6V 1200mAh NiMH 5-Cell
• 2700 mAh NiMH AA Battery for the control
Is it ok to fully charge when not discharged? I race every Saturday and I know Batteries never drain completely. Can I charge them every time I ran?
 
Other than the stock HPI charger being really slow, theres no problem. Just charge them when you want.
