RE: battery duration
I have a similiar question concerning Nimh batteries. I just purchased a JR 2700 mah 4.8volt Rx battery for a bigger plane.........four sub-C cells in a flat configuration.
I'm trying to form charge it for maximum performance..........I have read not to use a peak detecting charger for form charging so I'm using a wall wart that says it will put out 150mah for a Rx battery.........my last charge was 27hours and when I discharged it on my Accu-Cycle I got 1900mah out of it.........my next charge I'll let it cook for probably 36 hours and hope to approach that 2700mah mark.......How many mah's should I expect from this fully charged battery? Will I get a full 2700mah's?
Also, when I left this battery on the charger for 18 hours, (18 X 150mah = 2700mah's),
then let the Accu-Cycle discharge it at 250mah I only got 1700mah out of it........why didn't I get closer to the 2700mah capacity?
I believe my Accu-Cycle discharges to 1.1 volt per cell or a total 4.4 volts for the pack.
