Batteries

hey i didnt really know where to put this but i guess it can benefit more than just an xmod guy

okay i ordered 8 radioshack batteries from ebay and they were used but the first time i used it the batts died in literally 10 secs the next time i did it it seemed fine but than i turned off my xmod and like 6 hours later i turned it on again and the battery died. it seemed almost like the battery was leaking electricity

just wondering how i could check if my batts work fine or if i shud order more

The batteries could be at the end of their useful life. You can charge them only so many times. Buying used rechargeables isn't a good idea as you have no idea what has been done to them by looking at them.

Sounds like your batteries might be on the way out. You might also look at your charger to see if it's charing all 4 batteries. I'm unfamiliar with that charger, but I believe it only has one light. It could have 4 separate charging circuits, so it could charge 3 and one might not make a connection and never charge. This could end up with the light turning green since it only thinks 3 are there. Now your car may or may not run on the batteries with one weak one in there.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I don't have one of those chargers.
