Protek Life Receiver battery
#47
why is the charger set to 4v discharge on a 2s life? i've ran these for over a year and they are the way to go with rx packs. regular or hv servos work fine and do not loose any performance. volts are higher than a nimh and only a bit lower than lipo. only issue i've had is wire wear and having to put on some new plugs. they do fit d8/d8t if you use the rear box and cut out the bottom. done it to both my cars and had no damage from bouncing around, its a tight fit already. when i charge them i only use the balance plug to check the cell vots and they are always balanced.

i had interpreted this to mean don't use more than 66% capacity. but since i had troubles, maybe they meant don't use more than 33% ?

had a protek life puff recently. Pack wasn't that old so I was able to warranty the battery. I did about half the break-in of the first one on my charger, other half in buggy. This time around I may do the entire break-in on my charger. I'm charging at 1c and discharging at about 1.2amp since the battery doesn't seem to like discharge at 1.4 when new, at least my first one didn't. Wondering what settings others are using. Also learned I should always balance charge pack

Anyone know what the peak voltage is on these when fully charged. Nominal is 6.6v, and the info on the batteries clearly say no voltage regulators are needed.
But I just plugged up a new 1450 mah 6.6v Protek to a Savox SC-0252 throttle servo and had an immediate meltdown of the servo. I also have a SC-1256 on the steering end and it seems ok.
I'm hoping it was a defective servo (Savox is replacing it). But they also tell me they can not recommend anything over 6.0v.
