Battery break-in!!

[pedeboi364]

Hey guys, i just bough a new 6 cell pack for my stampede, made by proboat with Intellect 4200's. I just wanted to see what you guys suggested to do for breaking this pack in. I will be running it with a novak 4300ss system and an AE transmitter with the top speed turned all the way down for the first two runs. For the first two runs im gonna charge at 2 amps to full and then take it out and pretty much do the traxxas nitro break-in doing speed passes at varying speeds letting the batt. cool to room temp. before charging. The next 2 runs i will charge at 4 amps taking a 5 minute break when the batt. is half charged, and doing the same running procedure. For the 5th charge, ill do a full charge at 4 amps without stopping and run the truck at lower speeds going up to full throttle and back down gradually... lol, sry for the long post, and thanks for all the help i know im gonna get here!!
