|  battery help ?
ok so for starters, i'm pretty much a newb when it comes to batteries.  The other night my friend and i were driving the trucks on the course when my buddy drove right off the table with one of the trucks, the body and bumpers shattered. Still in shock i left the other truck on and put them up. so two days later i go to charge em up and the one that was left on wont take a charge. is there any saving the battery? btw they are stockers thanks for the help!!! |

the battery got ran completely dead. my son has done this many times. now i check every time. throw it on a better charger than the battery charger that came with it. the double A charger just doesn't have it in it to bring the dead battery back. it will be fine to use the stock charger after you bring it back up.

if you can some how hook it up just throw it on for a couple min on a low amp. all it needs to do is get the juice back in it. don't leave it on long and not on charge rate. might take a few cycles to get it back. best of luck

I had the same problem with my Micro T, I left the battery plugged in and when I went to charge it with the stock charger it wouldn't take a charge. I've read that others have charged it w/ their chargers using 0.1 amps as the charge rate and it works just fine. Anything higher would probably fry the battery.

replacing the batteries in the charger may help as well

I'm not sure that would help. I tried the same thing when I drained my battery and it did nothing. Apparently the charger can't charge a fully drained battery (don't ask me why lol). Unless Losi has changed the charging circuitry for the new chargers, then that won't do it. | |

yeah i have tried new batteries in the stock charger and it just couldn't charge the battery for some reason. i thought the battery was lost but i thought i would throw it on my racing car charger. it worked and battery has worked great ever since.
