Four, six cell Packs Dead

[Jones323]

Hey what's up everyone. I found to of my old starter boxes with two packs in each. There team orion. Two are 3000mah and the other two are 2400mah.

My problem is I wana use them for my trucks. But they false peak and don't warm up after a charge.

They have to be charged three times to get warm and hold a little charge..

Is there any methed to get things to hold a little better charge?

Or should I head to the trash bin. Thanks for any info.

How long ago were they used? Are they nimh's? Try a couple more charges and see what you get, they might need waking up. I just got some smaller 6 cell nimh packs from radioshack(for a megapro buggy), that needed 1-3 charges to wake'm up.

I had a couple that I had found in a box from when I moved several months ago. I put one on the charger, and once it peaked, I let it trickle charge over night, then ran it. After a few cycles it came back to maybe 75%. Good enough to mess around with, but not like it was.

give them a good freeze.then cycle them a few times.then see what they hold.
