R C Jack

Hi, I just got a new Accu Cycle Elite and a Hydrimax 6.0v 1650 mAh battery. Right now my battery is making the servos "jittery" I have heard that by cycling it it will eliminate these problems. I have also heard that by charging the battry once, you do not get the whole 1650 mAh, so how many times should I cycle the battery so I can get the most out of it? Same goes with my new stock Futaba 9C Super battery.


Thanks for the help

You need a formation charge, it takes about 3 cycles to reach full capacity. C1 for 12 hours or so should do it.

For both batteries?

And how do I do a formation charge? Can someone walk me through it, so far I have all of the battery specs programmed.

Set the charger for 5 cells and 150ma charge rate.
The charger will either peak or time out.
This is normal.
If it times out, then hit enter and then charge to complete the charge.
If it peaks, then it is ready to go.
