You guys are teling me exactly what I had in mind. As far as the age of the battery, I assume its as old as the radio, probably at least 5 yrs old. The radio was given to me so I dont exactly know. Its a tower 6channel with the tower batt. I do believe that we all are on the same page though. Thanx for the replies.
Some people will disagree, but I never use batteries older than two years. I always date them when they arrive. If the battery is installed where I can't see it, I put a label inside the plane with purchase/install date. Heaven knows how long they sat around prior to the sale to me. After two years, they are used for something other than airplanes.
