also recvier packs and glow starters how many amps to u charge them at???
cheers jeff
recommended charge for nimh etc is 1C ie as said 1.5A for a 1500mah battery...if this gets them more than just warm to the touch drop to maybe 1.2A (this is what I use for my 1600mah packs) heat is your batteries enemy and will decrease the life expectancy rapidly..
I haven't had a GO engine (and I've had them since gen3) which will even idle for a tank without screwing in the lsn 1 turn..try revving the engine a little with the glow heater still attached..means you won't drown the plug if it's running ultra rich..if you get a huge cloud of smoke as the engine clears you can be sure the lsn is waaaay rich..
