Not true...

( FYI: Most 4.8v chargers produce closer to 5.4v unloaded anyway... )

As I said I TESTED the charge on my packs and while I'm short of full capacity, as the wall wart chargers cannot sustain the load caused by the pack as it approaches full charge, I'm within 90% or better of full charge.

On my larger packs loosing 50-200mAh is not a big deal considering how little adverse effect this has on the packs. It's like trickle charging your batteries, as far as the chemisty goes.

I charge AA sized 2000mAh 6v Hydramax packs with my JR chargers all the time. I get at LEAST 1700-1800mAh out of the packs when tested under load which is well within what I expect.


BTW: I've tried those 2/3A packs and I find that no matter what you use to charge them the cells do not seem to be large enough to sustain the draw from the servos.

I've been underwhelmed with their performance after testing several brand new Duratrax 2/3a 1400mAh 6v packs on my ICE and TC-1030 charger's testing regimes.
