RE: Kokam1200&chamaleon,help please!

At step 4 that i gave you, you can select different currents. If it says I=1.2A it means you are going to be charging. If you select D=2.0A it means you are going to be discharging at 2 amps.

Dont charge your li ion with a regular RX charger, You may get away with it for a while, but eventually something bad may happen.

RE: Simultaneous charging of TX and RX batteries with Triton

It can work 8P. You just need to have the same type of cells in your Tx as in your Rx. I have 1650 NiMhs in both, and could do it. The important part would be to have both packs at an equal cell...

RE: cycling question

If the charger is going down to 3.6V it sounds like you have a bad cell, It should drop to 4V NiMh (unless you are going down to .85V on NiCds) on a 4 cell Rx pack. If its a NiMh I would open up...

RE: Schulze technical question

You are right Cap, during the first 5 mins of NiMh charging the peak detect is turned off, most likely due to false peaks that can occur in these packs at lower voltages.

To answer the first...

RE: ISL 330d problem

They recommend that you use the 13Ga wire on the battery leads also, and have good connectors. I wouldn't worry too much about it, if you keep your runs short it works fine. Good connectors are a...

RE: Li Po - Just Say No!

Ok I'll bite. There is nothing more magical about LiPos than any other battery out there. The only true difference is that they are more sensitive to a couple things, Overcharge, Overdrainage,...

RE: Losing voltage

The batteries will stop losing their voltage(stop self discharging) at the low voltage cutoff ( around 1V per cell). Then you put them in a cool place (I think it helps slow down the self discharge...

RE: Coldest temperature fir Li-Po batteries?

I've been flying at temps of 20 - 40F and the LiPo batteries lose about 75% of their capacity. Let them warm up and they will get the capacity back. So from my own experience I would say the closer...
