Just wanted to update you guys!

My first pack took in 2084mAh charging from 1A (variable decided by the silly charger) in 138:56 minutes!
That's... about 2.4 hours!





My second pack took in 2067mAh charging from 1A (variable decided by the silly charger) in 149:39 minutes!
That's... about 2.5 hours!





All my batteries are treated like this.
Upon arrival they get checked with a voltmeter, each and every cell through balance tap..
Then they get tossed onto the charger to get charged at a VERY low amperage, like 1A, or even .5A! Then they get discharged, and recharged, then tossed into the original box until I can reuse it.

I'm just starting to record all my data via pictures.

My NiMH are just the same, well, 2 packs of NiMH.. Elite's, treated the same, in intervals from .5 to 5A charge/discharge...

Good god that was a long night x3!

Anyways...
Some very good packs, speaking form what I've experienced already.

Starting to mod up my battery boxes I picked up at RadioShack, and will have a full blown tutorial, with only after pictures, who knows, maybe even step by step pictures! :]

EDIT:

You can also see the ghetto wiring harness I had to make up, becuase I couldn't wait until I changed out the plugs New packs make me giddy, what can I say...

I'm actually REALLY liking those hobbycity connectors..
Really, 4mm bullets, really long bullets actually, longer than usual (shut up linnnccc )..... And the housing seems pretty legit.

In case I forget anything, like my harnesses, I can grab one of my dads box of electrical crap (He has like 20 boxes.... Electrical Engineer FTW) dig out 2 4mm connectors, and just use those.

I swear, all electrical engineer uses are 4mm bullets.
And .3mm bullets, those things are so small in diameter, I could probably snap in half with two pinkies!

Okay, rant over
