Status: offline 		I have the new 960 charger and need some more information on it.
People have said it can charge past the 3700maH limit? Is this true or not?

Status: offline 		So I would have to charge the pack 2 times to fully charge a 4500Mah battery...

Status: offline 		No, it should go right up to full normally. Tim might give you more insight on why there's a "max" mah of 3700 listed. I can only speculate that it has it's hands full because of the length of time spent chargeeing at 4.5 is close to a whole hour.

The older 959 would get hot doing that job, but the 960 has a cooler running power supply and should stay cooler. You may not want to do back to back packs.

Status: offline 		I could probably do my Elite saddles for my B44 back to back since they are 3600 and the charger manual
did say it could charge back to back packs. This 960 will be better as a racing charger due to not getting hot.
I like the charger, because I still have the old 959.

Status: offline 		I like the fact that is lightweight and smaller than the bulky 959, so I can take it to the track without the tackle box weighing a ton!

Status: offline 		I purchased a 960 Super Brain to recharge the batteries for my RC18T and the receiver packs for my nitro vehicles. These smaller batteries are suppossed to be charged at 1 to 1.5 amps. The default charge rate on the Super Brain is 3 amps. I connected the battery, waited about 60 seconds and pressed display until the amps appeared. I pressed adjust in attempt to change the amps and nothing happened. The 960 would not let me change the amp rate. This happened with 2 different battery packs. Anybody have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.
