My New Turnigy 2S 7.4V 5000mAh LiPos!

[rawfuls]

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

You should write lyrics for mix-a-lot...

" I like em round and long and with really tight housings, I just can't help myself I'm actin' like rawbuns, now here's my scandal, I want get em home, and uh!, solder up, uh, uh. I ain't talkin' bout maxamps, cause overpriced lipos are made for boys!" "I like em real cheap and shiny, now wheres my hobby city, makes me wait for shippin', beggin" for some action from the mailman!" (whip noise)....

You get the idea...
