WARNING:dumb newby questions ahead

i need some batteries for my pro4.i want to run the car in 27 turn stock with a monster pro and a keyence rapida pro esc.
at the moment i'm using either tamiya 2400 nicads or the venom 3000's.(dont laugh its all i have ops: ) for 2 laps the car seems to go pretty well then it just dies off.


what sort of batteries should i get and what charger do i need? also is there a simple method of charging/discharging batteries that i should keep to? i dont understand all this cycling,discharge trays etc etc. its all jibberish to me

i dont mind spending money to get decent stuff,as long as it doesnt get out of hand :wink:
