A few mags shy of a skirmish

I am having a battery problem,my V2 mech box has just stock
gears left to be changed,the spring is a sp110 with bearings at
both ends,thebatt. is a 2300 mah 8.4.I have discharged then
recharged till the green light came on.I let it sit for 15 mins.
went outside and could only fire 2 mags,recharged 1.5 mags.
What gives?.I have been thinking about a torque up set.

What is the mA rating on the charger, it could be the charger or the battery or something else. What brand of battery?

It is a "powerizer".The output is 4.8-10.8 VDC. 1.00A or 1.95A.
On the front is only one switch. 1.0A--2.0A.I bought the system
from Scarcrow if any one else knows this system.

Doubt it but one isn't supposed to discharge NiMH batteries, if could kill them. I've only read that repeated dischargings will do that, not a single discharge.

As for the charger, I don't know. If it's your first time, sounds like yo uhad a setting wrong in it. Manual time.

And for that spring you shouldn't need anything more than just stock TM gears. Your battery is rather low though, should look into getting a higher mAh battery, like a 3300 or 3800.

If you'd care to read, his charger is 1A-2A.
1000mA to 2000mA, in other words.

This is a "smart charger".You plug the batt. in and the light is red.
When the light goes green,the batt. is charged.It is all beyond my
control.

How long have you had the battery? Maybe try a different battery? How old is the charger? Maybe it's about ready to kick the bucket? How long did you have the two items before they started acting up?

I hope you get it fixed, good luck.
