Quarry Creeper
My TLT based crawler was powered by two 4-cell battery packs connected in series. They were made by Hobbico 2/3A Nimh 1600 mAh cells.
After only 18 months an less than 50 discharges they are no more usable. If I discharge @ 1C (less than 1.6 A) they give almost all the nominal capacity but they are no more capable of giving the high current the motor needs.
I have already tried to cycle them 3 or 4 times with low current and I regained a bit of lost nominal capacity, but I had no improvement on the high currents.
Is there something I can try before buying a new good Lipo and live happy with it ?
Thanks
Filippo
