traxxas flat pack question

[Badkitty]

I HAD to buy a traxxas 5cell flat pack today. The pack i made wont hold a charge longer than 6mins and i was at the local track...so oh well. At least it lasted the whole time. Anyway, i was wonderin what the recharge amp rate for those packs are? I have an Intelliepeak PULSE charger. It starts at .5amp up to 5amp. but the range for NIMH is .5- 3.0 .

I think 1 amp max for a quick charge. Much more than that and you will cook them. The 3.0 amp is for the larger sub-c cells.

When I used the traxxas pack on my Revo, I charged it at .8 amps and 25mv. I don't know if your intellipeak has a millivolt setting but anywhere between .5 to 1 amp should be fine. Just keep an eye on how hot the pack gets. It should just be "warm" to the touch.

Yep, 1 amp max. The Revo Traxxas charger is set for .8 if I remember correctly. Revo has a built in 5 cell flat pack from Traxxas (removable for replacement).

Look at the capacity of the pack,if it is rated at 800mah charge it at 0.8 amps,,if it says 1100mah charge it at 1.1 amps.
