A few mags shy of a skirmish

[Double Tapper]

I think I got it around the end of may or begining of june 07.
Haven't used it to much.The funny thing is that these are
68 round mags.

Your battery is likely a NiMH since 8.4V is a 7 cell configuration and I believe that typically NiCD max out at ~1800mah.

If this is the case and you haven't touched your batteries in a while they may be done or in the need or conditioning. NiMH need to be conditioned every month if they are not used. I believe it was Madmax that posted this link:

What did I say about reading? No, NiMH do not need to be "conditioned" if they are not used in a month. They can be stored for a few months after you charge them.

The thing I can't understand is,it worked fine before.about a month ago
I fired all my mags on auto fire in rapid order.I have had my 3000mah
in the charger since my last post yesterday,I will try it tonight.

Today being friday,I let the battery stand off the charge since last
till 7pm tonight.It had a good charge on the 1 setting for a whole day.
I plugged it in tonight and it was dead.I didn't use it,just unplugged
the charger from it and a day later plug it into my gun.I now have the
2300mah back on the charger on the 1 setting.This very frustrating.

Is there any kind of integral fuse in your charger? Maybe it's blown and isn't actually transferring any power?

[Azathoth]

I don't know what kind of charger/wires you have but are you sure you have +ve to +ve etc? I was reverse charging a pack because I put the wires into the wrong slots on the mini tamiya.

I accidentally reversed the wires on a small to large connector swap, because they are opposite and I did thre minis at the same time, I reversed one, and couldn't figure out why the output fuse on my charger kept blowing until I realised my reversal.

I have been told that these batteries of mine are on the low end
of quality.And I should discharge them after every game. Ni CD

Pictures would be greatly helpful. If you can try borrowing a battery from a friend. I wonder if it's possible if the connections between the cells is damaged.

My suggestion at this point is to go and buy a quality battery(s)
