What charger are you using, what settings etc.

The battery also could have already had a charge from the factory, and probably did. Most have SOME charge already.

You were already told. There's probably nothing wrong with it.

ShelledPants · November 26th, 2008, 23:12

I'll spell it out.

You have a 2000mah battery.

When it discharges 450mAh, it will no longer be able to fire your gun.

When you charge it fully, you get 450mAh, and your battery is full.

mAh DOES NOT translate directly to how large a battery is or how long it will last, there are a lot of other factors like C rating and voltage.

If you are using small, AA sized, cells in a nunchuck configuration: They suck. They will not be able to power a gun for very long.

fUC***** i bought nunchucks

Jimski · November 27th, 2008, 10:28

if your battery is brand new Nimh you need to charge it at 0,1 C maximum or else you will break it
200 mAh max for the first charge.
ah I see you didn't have a choice
its sad.

hongkong100 · November 27th, 2008, 12:09

ShelledPants · November 27th, 2008, 12:50

hongkong100 · November 27th, 2008, 18:53
