Duratrax Shark 1500mah
Anyone ever use these batteries? I bought a pack for my stampede and they are terrible. They lose about a third of their punch after the 1st minute and they only last for about three minutes on low grass. Are mine defective or something? Oh and this is about the tenth cycle so far.

RE: Duratrax Shark 1500mah
It sounds pretty normal, they are at the bottom of the barrel for quality. Usually if they are used in a low draw application they'll hold up a lot longer, but your pede in grass for 3 minutes is too much current draw to get any battery life.
The batt should also be getting very hot if it is getting worn out, if it is not then perhaps the trouble is in the charger or chargeing of the thing.
