Next time you buy a charger, go ahead and upgrade to a Junsi charger and an external power supply. You'll never look back man. I have an X4 AC pro or something from Hitec I bought to be able to keep my daughters and wife in batteries when they all go racing stock buggy but man you can't beat the horsepower on a Junsi charger. I use that for my stuff and I can put all of their batteries plus mine and the spares in storage mode on that faster than I can do just one on the hitec. Either run em down in the car or use the whatchamadoodle those guys are using for now I guess because you're right, that 1a discharge is a pain.
