Default Charger Question

I am running two 2000 batteries in my tiger (I have ordered two after market 3000s)..

Well I calculated 9 to 10 hours for a full charge based on everything I have read here.

I am using the Mato charger till my new batteries come.

Usually the charger gets warm. No worries there... however when I went to unplug the charger I noticed it was not warm. Then when I ran my tank I noticed it had barely any juice. I have used my charger port configuration before, the charger got warm.. and no problem. When the batteries are low you really notice a loss of torque when going over obstacles... even rough ground.

Any info regarding my little problem would be great!

Get a good peak charger that will charge 2 packs at one time.

Throw that thing in the garbage, but save the connector first! Come on, you've spent thousands already, what's another $60 for a decent charger? $100 for a really good one? Open your wallet man!

I know James, and I will when I pick up my batteries I ordered. I am just using teh MATO ones for testing till my good ones, as you suggested, come in.

Now I will go to teh box and feel shame!

Yep, as stated above, anyone into RC tanks should invest in a good "Negative Delta V" or "Zero Delta V" peak detection charger. Your battery packs will thank you for it
