Thanks but I really wanted to stay with NiMH as I'm familiar with them. Would there be much difference in going from a 6V 4300mh to a 7.2V 3700mh or even a 7.2V 4300mh or 7.2V 4600mh ?????
Longer run times but how much longer and at how much cost for an occasional hobby ?????
Hi , I run 2 x 5000 x 7.2 NiMh's in series making 14.4 volts , the 700BB's good for 19.2volts , run time approx 40-45 mins (it's a heavy boat). . . it's a slow reving motor & I drive thru a 2.5/1 gearbox with a 50x prop , I use a SIGMA eQ mini charger , each stick takes about 70mins or so @ 3.00amps (I cant get it any higher for some reason)
The batterys were £25 a stick from component shop
& the charger was £35 from Phil Greeno
, you can also charge SLA's & LIPO's
with this , needed a charger harness to fit the DEANs connectors I'm using . . .
