Lightbulb fully charging zipzap stack battery

the quick charge thing just doesn't work for me and all those other peak charger mods r too much so all u have to do is put the zipzap on the charger ...and wait.....when the light turns green take it off and do it again.....keep doing this until the light doesn't turn green any more and then u'll have a fully charged zipzap without all the hassle of more hardcore charging methods.

That is not a very accurate method of peaking your batteries.

You can use a volt meter to watch for your batteries peak.

Here the thread where I talk about it.
http://tinyrc.com/forums/showthread....&threadid=7511

I get killer punch, and really long run times, and the batteries only seem to get more consistant.

My older Zip snaps right on the clone charger base that I charge my bits on, but my newer Zip Zap is lacking the notches on the side of the chassis to hold it on. So If you have a newer one you might have to rig something up.

If you don't want all the hassle, I've found that with a fresh set of batteries it takes 3-4 min. for the ZZ's 100mah cell to fill, so you could safely get away with 4-5 consecutive charges, and be filling your battery nearly to capacity.
