Hi...
I have started my Revo 2.5 today and my battery pack was fully charged as I have charged it over night and the battery pack lasted for about 3-4 runs,those
runs were kinda of short runs as I was warming up my engine on factory settings for few runs as I as the engine wasn't used for about year so I worked on very reach settings (break in settings)
so as I said runs were about 10 minutes long so about 30 minutes of battery pack life and there is a question,is my battery pack bad and lost it's MaH?
or this is normal battery pack working time and also is there any other battery pack to be used in Revo 2.5 ?

Thanks for looking....
 
It will last longer, it needs to be cycled a few times. They do not like to sit.
A better charger will help too. Wall chargers do not properly charge batteries.
I recommend an Orion 1600mah Marathon flat pack. Great batteries.
 
I have look for it but I couldn't find it on any UK websites so I think that I will have to get another Traxxas Battery Pack,and I did cycle the battery pack few times and it takes ages
to charge the battery to full,Traxxas says 1 hours but after 1 hour my battery works for about 5 minutes and then go's empty again....
 
discharge the battery fully before you charge it might help, and batterys only last so long, if it sat for over a year i would replaced it anyways. i use the venom 6volt hump pack 1600mah... its great last about 15 long runs. and still dosent ask for a charge.
 
wow 15 runs ?!@£$
today my battery was dead after 20 minutes and I was charging it whole night.....:whhooo:
thanks god that new battery it's on the way :hehe:

I was having the same problem. and I ordered a new battery, but,turns out my charger was going into trickle mode after about 3-5 min. so it wasnot getting a full charge. But, now I have 2 batteries!
