has anyone ordered this same set of NIMH battery? if so does it fit nicely in your bit char-gs? thx. And does it last about 25 mins with just ONE charge or do you need to charge like 2-3 times...?

Re: Has anyone order this... (see link)
 

If you want it to last for 25 minutes you will always have to double or triple charge it (maybe even more) if you're using the charger that comes with the controller (at least with the Micro Sizer one). When I charge my car with it, it lasts about 2 minutes. If I use my dad's Duratraxx Piranha it takes 20 minutes to charge it, but it's a much more conservative charge (smaller current) and the car goes for almost 10 minutes. But if I am to use a bigger battery, it will have to charge for more time.

ooo, thats the same batery that came in my super perfection.........it does last a long time but im not sure about 25-30 minutes...............i took mine out of the SP and traded bats with tomy one my MS pro......so now my MS has a 120mAh batt in it........


they are good!

Wait a min..
 

Aw... i always disliked charging more than once... so if i put my NIMH battery in my bit char-g, and charged it once.. about how long would it run for? I thought 1 charge would last like 25 mins...

here........ill do an experiment.....ill charge my car once and time it rhile driving constantly.....ill post when i am done......:D

Thank u so much
 

Thank u so much.. ill wait for ur reply. :)

I have two of those. Very nice batteries, I charge them up 4 times with my MS charger, but You could go up to 6 without a problem-with 4 MS charges they last 15-20 minutes. Highly reccommended upgrade

ok, here are the specs of the car, im going into big detail so you can see the power drain...:

MicroSizers Pro 49MHz booster chassie
stock wheels+gears
Perfection 4.2 King motor
Perfection (LXX) 120mAh battery
Super Perfection blue tires (hard)
LXX Nissan Skyline: Calsonic
clone auto centering spring
XMODS gear grease on axel

the final non-stop runtime without boost was about 4minutes 45 seconds.......can be rounded to 5 minutes :D

hope that helped! sorry about the delay!

O dear...
 

Hmm 5 mins... the same as a STOCK battery.... wuts so special about the NIMH? Cause it can hold more energy?

I use a volt meter to watch for voltage drop, and detect peak. It has been very effective method for me.

Charging with 2 fresh AAAs it takes about 7-8 minutes to get a peak from 150mah cells, and they run for 45+ minutes using a fast motor.

200mah should take at least 10 minutes to charge, and should run for over an hour.

A fully charged battery will be slightly warm.

ill have to rig the bat to my peak charger and see what happens....lol........maybe ill set a Bit Char-G endurance record? lol....

Isn't there some special way to charge nimh that is different than nicds? I was looking into making a wall charger for my zz se, which comes with a nimh, but my wall charger is made for nicds. Can i just rig up a connector for the nimh and plug it into my wall transformer charger?

If memory serves, I believe that Ni-Mh batts are better because they don't have a memory(?). In other words, if you charge a stock batt twice in a row, with power in it, the batt will have less runtime. It doesn't happen on a Ni-Mh. That isn't a 100% sure answer, but I think that's true. As for MaH, it's like horsepower; the more the better. You just have to charge it for longer.
