I have 6 Integy 4-cells packs, all are 1.20v, 20amp, the least run time is 620.

What are the highest numbers you guys have seen so far? And from what company?

In my first post I was supposed to write out 1.18 not 1.118. I have fixed the post now. The numbers are awesome and I have a few packs myself. Warpspeed has a few of the batteries left. Remember this is the guy who made the New schumacher chassis that everyone and their mother uses. He is also the guy who has made racing team packs for some of the fastest oval guys since 1989. That is a long time. The batteries are only team level packs and have voltages in the 1.18+ and 600 range. The cost is about $80. These batteries are the most true numbers I have ever seen.

I have the Trinity race packs, 1 404, a 408, and a 414. Cant remember what the voltage was on all of them. Just noticed that they are $52 at Tower now and I paid $70 about a month ago, what a pisser!

Ok, cycled one pack today (first charge) at 20 amps (highest that the 16X5v6 will go) and here were my numbers:

611 sec
3076 mah
1.154 volts
29 mOhm I think, cant remember that one.

Charged them at:

4 amps
6mv/c cutoff

Took about 58 minutes to charge. This was the first charge its received since it was purchased. I discharged it first (fuzzy logic setting) but it only took about 20 seconds to dump and charged it right away as there was no temperature difference from the discharge. It was cooled down when I discharged it though, only slightly warm to touch as I ran the other two packs through the car before I discharged this one. The box they came in had 20 and 30 amp numbers on them but I've thrown them away, wish I'd kept them another couple of days just to see what my numbers looked like in comparison. As I recall they were pretty close though.

So the first initial charge you do 4amp and 6mV??? I was just thinking of charging them first time at 5 amp and 8-10 mV.

I just picked something that I thought would be conservative since I've never used anything other then nicads and a Tekin BC112 before. New charger and new batteries so I went with what I thought would be easy. I'll turn up the wick as I go, just didnt want to damage anything using products I didnt have any first hand experience with, thats all

oh ok, I just thought you know special trick that we don't know about.

Charging at 5 amps will work fine, though I'm not sure about that voltage threshold. I started out at 5 amps & 4mV/cell on my Millenium, & that was certainly a safe setting. While I may be able to go to a higher threshold, I don't intend to go very far, maybe to 6 or 7mV/cell, till I'm absolutely sure they can handle it just as well as the Sanyo HV's can.....

I have safely charged 3300s with a 8mV/cell, but i don't think that you need to go any higher than that.

They are very good. Plenty of punch and runtime. Only problem is that they are 30g heavier than the SMH....this changes the handling of the car! You can buy them in Hong Kong, although they come in batches, so if you buy early you get the better packs!

DTM: You got those from PG?? Have you ever tried GM packs??

dtm

I don't entirely trust them....they were matched using the GM VIS Commander....this may give different numbers than the Turbo nos....so you cannot entirely compare like with like! 1.15xVolts sound pretty high!! especially with runtime at around 43xs

Also, the cells came over to HK as loose 'matched' cells and then packaged into a 6 pack by Jet. Don't quite understand why GM did not put them together!

I just got a Millenium Pro and noticed that the NIMH mode doesn't seem to offer delta peak adjustment (it does in nicad mode). Is there a way to adjust mV for NIMH? Thanks.

patelladragger

there isn't a way with the millenium pro by using their new nimh2 mode. Just use the nicad mode to charge nimh like on the 1.2 millenium but the delta peak setting offers greater range now.
