battery problem!
Posted by tomzag on Thursday, June 23, 2005 3:09 PM
I have a battery pack, made from 6 aaa nimh batteries. I installed it in my 1/16 kubelwagen. everytime I charge it, it will take about 300mah, then I was pormpt it is full charged( I have a triton charger). I measure the voltage is about 9v. but the car does not run as long as before. about 2 minute running. I measure it again, about 8V. redo the charging, take another 200mah. then stoped.
anybody know what is going on here?

Ni Cad batteries occasionally need to be deep cycled you need to put a resistor across the battery to make sure it is fully discharged then try recharging it.
When in doubt just build it. Mark http://www.ipmslivonia.org/ipms/
