Tenergy 7.2V 5000mAh Flat NiMH..Thoughts?
 
Hi Guys

My Proboat batteries are shot. I tried to resurrect them by trickle charges, full charges, full charges and discharges and I can't get them past 400 mAH. I saw these batts online and wondered if anybody tried them? Nice price.

I have a Proboat Formula Fastech and I guess if they're good, the only issue is would they fit? Not ready for Lipo ....yet

You may not be ready yet, but how much longer are you going to spend almost twice as much for a dead technology /poor performance battery,,,compared to Lipo?

Wasting money.....not fun.

Hi Doby

No I do not like to waste money. Any suggestions on Lipo then? I am clueless and are they still dangerous?

I just notice though that LiPos are 2X as much and I would have to buy the programming card to run LiPos in my Fastech

How about this
2 40C packs for $25 each
and 1 lipo charger for 19 bucks!

Hi Diesel
The guys are right . I have nearly completly switched over to lipos. Through Hobby King and other places the prices are lower than nmh. Hobby King has been a good place to order from. A week and a half to get your order is good too.
Some of us are having a fun run at Batavia's Depo Pond this Sat. All are welcome .Nube or grizzled old timer ,we like them all.
