stupid battery

[hongkong100]

hi i justgot a batteryfrom a local rc shop and he told me its a 9.6 1500 mah minitype battery ok so i bought it and went home right after i charged the battery and then 600 rounds l8r poop its dead
is the battery screwd or the charger HHHEEEELLLLPPP MMMMMEEEEEE

p.s also not dischargeing ohh its a nimh

[Skladfin]

let your battery cycle a few times first. And are you sure it was charged fully?

but....

dude man, be patient, you've been asking for spoon feeding a lot(Both localy and over here on ASC). I don't wanna sound like an ass but you really have to start researching yourself, spoonfeeding is for babies, and I know for a fact that you can do better.

[SHÖCK]

We don't even know what charger you are using or if you are charging it correctly. What do you usually do? Cycle the battery a few times. NIMH doesn't need to be discharged. You can just top it up after cycling. Use slow charge overnight. Not fast charge for the first while.

my battery charger is a smart charger so even if i do let it chage over night it still only goes for about 90 mins max the battery brand is nuclear power and the charger is a dnyx210

yea i know i might be spoon feed a little here and on bcac but when it comes to battery theres soo much i tried it but all i know is the bigger the battery the longer and faster that gun will run and fire but then it will kil ur gears so iam soo lost on battery

[Gigaknight]

Sounds like a case of a cheap battery and the need to cycle it several times *as stated before*, I haven't found any info on your charger either... hmm.

There's actually not that much you need to learn about batteries, but yes; more Volts equates to higher ROF... but Mah contributes too; I replaced my 1800Mah Nicad with a 3600Mah NiMH and it was incredibly fast.

*Edited*

[hongkong100]

its a website on the box duratarx.com and the kind of battirey its useing is enrich power

[Jimski]

more Mah equates to higher ROF...

wait.
In my book it's the Voltage that determines ROF.(i.e. motor speed)
Mah is capacity and just indicates discharge rate and spring power capabilities.

In general I'd agree that V = ROF and Mah = # of shots...

but I think that Mah can be coincidentally compared to ROF since higher Mah packs are usually made of larger cells (i.e. 2/3A vs. SubC).

When comparing a 8.4v 1200mah mini to a 8.4v 1400mah mini there's not much ROF difference...but there is a good bump in ROF if you get a 9.6v 1400mah mini battery (all of those with 2/3A cells).

When comparing a 9.6v 2200mah mini (those ??AA?? sized butterfly packs, that have never been useful to me) to a 9.6v 2200mah large battery...you definitely get an improvement in the ROF.

Just need to be clearer when posting info...

[Jimski]

ah yes that's true.

[Crunchmeister]

Voltage and current both have an effect on ROF, and I've tested this myself with several batteries in my guns.
The one that I did actually chrony with different batteries was by Real Sword Type 56.
8.4V 1200 mAh mini: 11 rps
8.4V 1500 mAh stick: 12 rps (my backup battery)
8.4V 2500 mAh large: 14 rps
9.6V 1400 mAh stick: 18 rps (this is the battery I normally use)
9.6V 2000 mAh nunchuck: 20 rps
9.6V 3800 mAh large: 25 rps
But yeah, larger, higher capacity cells make for lower internal resistance and a higher discharge rate. The increased current flow translates to more power on the motor and a higher revolution rate. Either way, in the final equation, both extra voltage or extra current will translate to extra power and a higher rof.

ok i charged it yesterday and i put it in the gun to fire it but after 100 shots or soo it got o hot it melted the plastic around the battery did this happen to u before or is the battery a lemon also smoked up and melted the plastic on the battery

[panda86]

What amperage setting are you using on the charger?

[hongkong100]

sometimes .8 sometimes 1.5 and one time 3. but it wasn't that hot after i charged it

[panda86]

I believe for that size mini battery, you should charge it under 1 amp (.8). I'm not an electronics expert, but I think 1.5 or 3 is too much.
