How long does it take to do a full charge on one of these, The 110 charger that came with it has a red light on it when its plugged in, does it turn off when charged ? or does it turn green when charged ? or is the light just to let you know there's power going to the charger, for some reason they don't come with instruction's

ehroof

it depends, see how many mah the charger is, divide it into the packs mah and thats how many hours. Just dont let the pack get too hot or overcharged. most likely its a 7 hour charge

Kemo

Wallchargers like that can not charge fast enough to get the pack hot. They are basically trickle charges... if they are left on for a day, it wont damage the pack.

Macanan

okay the charger its self say's 100 mAh so that would mean it will take 11 hours to charge ?

ehroof

yeah, pretty much

Kemo

That charger is safe to leave it on all day... it charges at such a low mAh rate that it wont even come close to hurting it.

Macanan

Looks like something that you would plug up when you go to bed, then it would be ready for the next day when you get up, lol but at the rate I drive it and repair and mod it, that wont happen to often

Kemo

buy multiple packs if needed... or you can invest in a peak charger and charge it in an hour

You can get an adapter for it to charge on the Duratrax Intellipeak chargers.

purchase one of these then use a quick charger

out of all my chargers I really like the Intellipeak ICE works great and has funtions to help bring old batteries back to life

Kemo

Yeah it utilizes a 10A discharge on bigger cells. These 1/2A cells however aren't going to take a liking to that kind of a discharge with the small gage wires.

On a electric with the mah's change the speed of the car? More mah's the faster it will go?

bluecaka69

not really more mah the longer it will run the voltage is what increases speed

Kemo

nope. mAh is basically the capacity of your battery pack. If your motor draws 1 Amp per hour, and you are using a 2500 mAh pack (2.5Ah), it'd take 2.5 hours for the battery to be completely drained.

I just ordered another battery pack a 1400 mah Now ill have 2 hump packs.

bluecaka69

whos this nope for me or other guy
I think that what I just said right in simpler tems
Correct me if im wrong

TNIGS

dose anyone know how long the batterys last in those ignighters that take c batterys??

bluecaka69

not long enough LOL honestly i dont know i use the for awhile then just plug them in that way you always have enough charge its a real pain when you get the urge to drive get your car fueled up plug it the ignitor an pull it but it wont start OOPS forgot to charge ignitor well maybe tommorrow you know what I mean

TNIGS

ya but those blue aluminem meterd one. i think you can just slip the rechagable bat out and put in a regular c battery. im thinkin of geting one b/c i hate when the cheep one i have runs out of juice. with this one you could just slip another bat into it.

Kemo

rechargeable cells will provide more starts than any alkaline will. Just get a few sub c cells and charge multiples overnight. Its always good to have at least 2 glow plug heaters/starters anyways, for just this reason.
