Having a Problem?
 

I have a Venom 7-cell 3000mah battery, after I run it sometimes the shrink wrap has melted and the battery is so hot that I can't even hold it. It is not getting over charged and I always let it cool down before I charge it or run it so I don't know the problem......help



Thanks

What kind of charger do you have? You could try lowering the charging amps on the charger (if you can) or try "trickle charging' your battery:D Try these but if nothing works just buy a new battery;)

Its a SuperBrain 959 and I charge it normally charge it at 3amps.

Mine does the same thing. I have a 6 cell 3600 Venom pack. I heard that Venom uses really crappy cells, so I chalked it up to that. I'll be trying another brand as soon as I get off the NITRO. LOL Makes a great bump box battery though, lasts all day!

What are you running it in? What type of vehicle....You may have your vehicle over-geared.

I ran mine in a Rustler, XL-5, Epic 19T Mod. I couldn't even tell you what pinion. I traded the Rustler awhile ago. lol

pulling too much current from battery (using it too fast)

See, thats the problem I had. Now when I use my current up too fast, I just pour more in! lol:)

I have the same problem with my Trinity packs. It's probably because they are cheap batteries. None of my other packs get that hot.
