new batterys please advise on maintanace
I recently bought 2 brand new stick packs for my e-maxx project. I went with the venom 6-cell 3000mah nimh packs.
I have the Duratrax intellipeak ac/dc charger.
it will trickle charge, peak charge from 0.5 to 6.5 amps, discharge at 1 amp with a cut off of 2.6v, and discharge/recharge cycle.
Now my question is, what is the best way to maintain these? I've never had brand new batterys and at $25 a peice i want them to last awhile...
Should i discharge/charge cycle them? how many times? what amps should i charge at? I'm supposed to store them with a little charge on the right?
:bowhhh electric gawds please bless me with your knowledge!:bow:
