thanks

whats the Mah rating of the battery?

AA's dont have the discarge rate of 2/3 and 4/5 A's so they might give out on you if youre using them on a high power brushless, but 12v maybe not

2000mah

guessing by the specs of youre charger its not a peak charger, which you need for NiMh baterys, but if it is it would be a 12 hour charger, and a 2000 mah and single 55t lathe you should get about 45 minutes- hour, depending on how heavy you are on the throttle

i guessed right it's not a peak charger

now that i see the battery it's wierd it has three cables

it's for a friend in france who has a f1 rc car and wants to replace his battery cuz he needs to charge 6 hour for 15 minute run time

the charger is just a regualr wall charger so no i'm out of ideas to help him out, cu he doesn;t have a peak charger

his kid i really giving him hard time about this



here are the specs of the original battery

12v AA 800 mHa 727

3 wires !?!

only time i see that is with balancers on lipo's

maybe the battery has a seperate charge and discarge lead??

[chivas72]

i'm asking for more info on the car and stuff i will post as soon as i have it

thanks for the help

I was at future shop the other day and there was a roboreptile in the return bin for 20 bucks. When I took it apart the battery compartment had a common, a 3v, and a 6v lead. Im hoping yours isnt like that.
