I have never used Tenergy, but I was looking in to them. I thought at one point they had 1.5v AA sized rechargeables, but I never could find them. they were probably lipo's in AA form or someone's custom order. I'd rather buy the 6 cell hump myself. Eddie, how do the 1.2's work in the Tx? same performance, or less range/speed?
They work fine.....I use em in all my Transmitters, AND in the 4 cell receiver pack (Idont use hump packs in Everything).
Saves me a TON of $$, compared to using Duracell throwaways.
I use a Quick charger for my rechargeables. 30 minutes for 4 of them, and I have had no problems at all.
Now,,,,for the Hump packs or any other expensive battery,,,,slower is better if you want them to last longer.
Hump packs small batteries (sub C's) should not really be charged at high current capacity.
6,7, and 8 cell Stick Packs and large Lipos CAN be charged at high (1C) capacity as long as you DO NOT leave them unattended.
At the track when running my Slash,,,I charge my 7.4 v,,,,3800mah pack at a charge rate of 3.8 amps (1 C) and dont have any problem.
I realize this will shorten the life of the battery,,,,but thats racing...
Like Eddie says,,,, a Good Charger supply is fully programmable. Current, Voltage , charge/discharge rate, etc, are all programmed to YOUR specifications.
Eddies Brain is a nice Charger. I have a Duratrax ICE,,,which I like Very much.
