Flight batteries for I.C.
Hi,
I got a couple of futaba sets a few years back, and they never got any use (uni took over life for a while then it was work work work!!)
I have charged the batteries over night and set up my radio gear (about 1.5hrs) and the tranny battery run flat)
Will I need new batteries or is there a way to cycle them to give a spark of life to them? Not sure if they are indeed duff or whether the constant high throws of the servos during set up would cause this to happen to any battery.
Cheers in advance

RE: Flight batteries for I.C.
I would highly recomend you replace any bateries that are suspect load test any that you intend to use. I have had good luck using the Hobbico accucycle charging system. However I periodically load test my batteries and dispose of any that do not pass.
