Default RE: Battery question

Also ....... when you charge, how many flights have you had on those batteries before you recharge. Your figures would indicate something like 1 to 3 flights for the charge rate the chargers are putting in the batteries. For your servo load, 250Mah to 350 Mah of battery discharge per flight would be pretty normal. Remember, unless you discharge your batteries completely between charges, you only have to put back into the battery what you took out plus a little additional for overhead. I find it hard to believe that both chargers are bad and Silversurfer's advice regarding charge lead wire gauge is a good one. NIMH batteries are no harder to charge than NICD ones if the charger is designed for them.
