Default super brain 960

Hey,

I was looking at the mrc super brain 960 in a magazine add. It said that the charger could only charge batteries up to 3700mah. Do this mean it can't reach full capicity on batterys like the ib4200's or it just won't charge them at all.

Thanks for the help

Ive charged IB4200's on my 959 which is the same exact thing and it will charge it to full capacity but you'll need something to cool it down such as a fan.

Yes, Extremely hot. When Im charging IB4200's on my 959 I just stick a fan infront of it and set it on high.

YEs and NO...

Yes the 959 gets hot, the 960 DOES NOT! The 960 power supply has been changed so that it barely gets warm, its also more then half the weight of the 959 and also smaller. Hope this helps!!

Hmm... you'd think that mrc would just be saying that the 960 stays cooler during charging.
