I thank all of you in this thread, for making me laugh almost my entire shift.

"thumbsup"

I have a good one about rc sparks. I need to post it from my phone

Now some dingus is telling him to charge at 10amps and that he's done it for years on a 5000mah battery.

Maybe someone should really confuse them by explaining the 1C rule of thumb for charging.

 

[EeePee]

1C thumb rule thumb rules of thumbs went out the window years ago.

Racers charge at 10 amps.
I charge my 360 mah packs at 3 to 4 amps.

I just keep to the old 2300= 2.3a - 5100=5.1a. You get the idea. They all charge in an hour from flat dead. Races don't take even half a batt so I have two. My lipos last years that way.

are you using an old nimh charger? It should take over an hour to charge a lipo from dead at 1C. A lipo charger won't charge at full amperage near full capacity

 

[CrawlinMike]

No. Hyperion eo606i or something. Not home to look. Yes takes right around an hour. Near the end the amps drop yes.

What? 1C charging is at 1/10th the amps of the battery millamps rating. It should take exactly 1 hour. And the charger isn't supposed to charge a lipo at full amps near capacity. The very essence of CCCV algorithms. Read more.

My charger tops at 5.0 so thats what i charge everything at. I take it easy on new batteries for the first charge or two, after that its wide open... I aint sitting around waiting for batteries to charge... pffffft

If you want to charge your packs at 10c, then be my guest, it's your packs and your money. But you won't find anything anywhere to says it's good for the packs. I'm pretty imaptient with a lot of things, and like my playtime as much as the next guy. But, I also like to get as much lifespan out of my packs (since I had to pay for them) as I can, so I stick to 1c, maybe 2c at the track. An hour really isn't that long of a period of time, if you can't wait that long then buy more batteries. We've really become an instant gratification society for sure.

I'm not sure if any of these people know that this is a bad thing that they can fix...

This new free Tapatalk sucks....

Not all of that wadding looks bad to me? I sand my tires and run very soft foams so they wad..."thumbsup" I don't think I'm the only one!

Microwaving something for 60 seconds takes too long! Hurry up! Maybe a microwave, inside of a microwave would speed things up. And where in the heck is spring already! And my teleportation device!?

I hope you always use a lipo bag! . You're gonna need it .

 

[gottorque]

they are on their flex parade again....WTF is this

 

[EeePee]

Holy hell, that takes the cake. Seriously, there is everything wrong with that.

Can't be for real.

 

[DadCanyoufix?]

It is broken.....?

 

[OTHGbronco82]

I'm sorry, but how the f**k is that even possible?

 

[gottorque]

My broken wraith still looks better than that lmao

 

[CrawlinMike]

Performs better too probably
