battery takes wayyyyy to long to charge
i have a 2 cell 1100mah battery (lipo) and on the charger (the poly4 or the eflite single battery charger) it takes over 1 hour to charge everytime. I have banana plugs (goes into charger) 12 gauge wire to the deans connector (and then the battery plugs into that) is the wire the problem?? or am i just losing it!? thanks!!!! help needed!!!!!!

RE: battery takes wayyyyy to long to charge
that is about right....
lipo's shouldn't be charged at more than 1C and at 1C an hour is normal....
what rate are you charging at?

well the polycharge doesnt give the option, just to set the mah closest to the battery (always under if needed) and the eflite is at 1amp i believe
