Battery Info
Wayne called me and asked if I could post the Battery Info on the 7.4V and 3.7V lipo packs.
I use the GFX, Cycle settings 6.0 Amp Charge 35 Amp Discharge. Sensor Leads are connected to the bullet connector at the top of the pack. I do not heat the packs or charge and discharge before I start the cycle. I cycle the pack 2 times because they come with a charge in them from the factory. I let the pack sit for about 3 hours before the 2nd cycle is started. I send the data from the GFX to my computer after the cycle is done. The label is printed for each pack so my customers can see what they are getting.
Here is a sample of the numbers I am getting from each pack
3.7V 5000 40C
AVG DISCHARGE VOLTAGE 3.69
RUNTIME (SEC) 497
MAH 4831
IR 3.7
7.4V 5000 45C
AVG DISCHARGE VOLTAGE 7.47
RUNTIME (SEC) 541
MAH 5259
IR 4.7

TSR 1500 Matched 2/3A Cells are done the same way, just using a Turbo Matcher with the settings at 3.0 amp charge rate, 15 amp discharge, .90 voltage cut, 5000 sec runout. These cells speak for them selves with a 23 Micro National Titles under there belt.
TSR 1500'S
RUNTIME (SEC) 330-350
VOLTAGE 1.19-1.20+ (BATCH I JUST FINISHED 97% 1.20+)
IR 4.0-4.6
CHARGE/EQUALIZE/STORAGE INFO
A “NEW” Pack when received should be discharged and fully Equalized until the pack is cool before Starting step 1
1 Charge at 3.0 amps with a 40 MV peak detect
2 Run your pack then discharge it at 15 amps (10 will be fine as well) to 5.4 volts for a 6 Cell Pack
3 Equalize the pack right after you discharge it with a Tekin Mini Battery Tray
4 When the pack is cool repeat step 1 and race your pack again if you plan on running it for the 2nd time in one day.
5 If you are storing the pack until the next time you race (5-7 Days) Leave the remainder of the charge from your race in it for storage.
6 When you are ready to race, discharge the pack at 15 amps (10 will be fine as well) to 5.4 volts
7 Equalize the pack with a Tekin Mini Battery Tray until it is cool.
8 Charge it at 3.0 amps with a 40 MV peak detect and you are ready to race.
9 Long periods of storage: Fully Charge Pack and Start and step 1 when used again.
The Tray makes a huge difference
