Status: offline 		Alright could I get an answer from somone who owns one of these and lipo, is one better or are they equal? Im not to experienced with rc and my knowledge of battery performance and care is even less but I really dont want to go lipo but I would like a little more kick than the nihm can give. If I order these than I want to order a few because I only want to pay shipping once and no retailers sell just the battery in my area.

Status: offline 		know whats odd? I put it on my losi mini peak charger and it "peakk" in 15 min. at 1.2 amps, but I unplug it and plug it back in it charges for another 30 mini before it "peaks" again? my guss is that the first time its charging at the 6v 5 cell rate then when I plug it in again its charging at the 7.2v 6 cell rate.
