Soon to be Lithium convert!!!!!

It's been a while since I've been on the forum, new job and other interests took the lead. Well to make it short I ran RC's with my buddy today and foundout my cheap batteries from two years ago that haven't been charged in over a year are shot. I also had a solder weld break so I was running just one battery in my E-Maxx I built. Out of curiosity we took one 7.4v 4000 LiPo battery of his and holy sh*t. That one battery had the same power as my 16cell Tenergy packs I built. I run a 3905 E-Maxx with tons of mods including a MM ESC and a Turnigy 9xl motor with RCMonster heatsink/clamp.Tonite I came home and went to HobbyKing.com and put these items in my basket. 2x http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...Charge_Capable and 4x http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=8578
Not the best but still pretty good bargain for under $200 shipped. Now my understanding is that I can charge two 2-cell packs on each charger at 2 amps on each battery, on each cell. Am I reading this right? At what rate can I charge these batteries? At 2amps how long to recharge if drained?

to fully recharge it would take almost 3hrs... the batterys can be charged at up to 5amps.

You might also need some female deans plugs to solder on the new flight max lipos, or the same plug you got on your MM. Also download the latest firmware or at least setup the LVC in the MM to 3.2v per cell. Squeeze the trigger and let her rip!

The power of electrons is very influential
