Battery revival

[pedeboi364]

The next time ur at radioshack sears or the like, pick up a wall charger for a tyco/nikko/etc rc car to revive an old pack. Just switch the leads to fit your battery, leave it over night, then put it on ur real charger to finish it up. Charging at a very low rate is key to a good revival

odly enough i was just bringing some packs back to life but i used the adjustable amp seting:D

I was kinda thinking the same deal, set the dial down low on the amps, and let em trickle over night. Then use the Cycle 1 at roughly 1 amp, then use my Cycle 3 at 1.5 or maybe even up to what ever capacity the batteries are. That way I am still owning just the one, well 2, chargers. Not a bad idea to go that route, but honestly, I can throw a few dollars in a much better direction than another charger. however, for people who do not have fancy smancy chargers, this idea is genious. It will save them alot of money.

Lol dammit im too old school, my dynamite vision peak2 wont charge a pack unless it detects that the pack has a charge

i have 3 venom packs that are down a cell if i trickle them at low anps for the night will that fix the one or two bad cells:confused:

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
Not sure, probly nothing will help, but most likely what you should do is grab up the good cells and make a bigger pack, like a 7 or 8 cell. That is what I do with the packs that drop a cell, just make em bigger.

venom packs can drop dead for no reason (thats what i hear).
the worst that could happen is they get hot, catch on fire and burn the house down. haha, jk.:D
