How long do I charge my Losi micro sct?

I got an old brushed motor Losi micro sct that I dug out of my closet. How long do I charge the battery for?

not sure what type of charger you are using..Or anything about your battery ...If its a nimh or nicad you will need to condition it 1st.. thats a 12+ hour charge at lowest amperage you can do . like .01 amps.. that will bring all cells to correct voltage.. then discharge it and then you can charge it at a more normal current.. dint those have a 220mah 4 cell.. I think they did..so if that is your battery id charge it at 1/10 of A amp.. .10 amps...might go .15 max ..

Ok thanks I’m using the 220 mah 4.8v NiMH Losi battery it came with along with the wall charger it came with. I would condition it but I got no way to do that at the moment. I got a charger that can do that but not for the type of connector this tiny battery uses I’ll look into getting an adapter or something though.

Alright I’m gonna get a new battery the old ones have bulges and don’t last long. Does anyone know if the esc on this car has an option for low voltage cutoff?
