<div>Thanks foxy for great info</div><div>Thanks nitrosportsandrunner </div><div>Having a great time with the thunder tiger. Battery takes about 75 minutes to balance charge and does give a run time of about 25 to 30 minutes. So you are spot on.</div><div>
</div><div>Now there is a new development. 2 of the 5 balance lead connectors have broken right off the battery. Some research shows that it's a fairly common problem. There is even a video on YouTube on how to repair it. </div><div>
</div><div>I hope I am not breaking any rules by adding the link.</div><div>
</div><div>Do you guys think that I should go ahead with such a repair. I am refraining from charging the battery until I sort it out.</div><div>
</div><div>Totally unrelated query: the hobby store guy told me to keep the battery covered in thin foam and tightly taped so that it doesn't swell up and is more safe. Is he right?</div><div>
</div><div>Thanks again for our help guys</div><div>
