Runtime issues

[dalejrfan8]

I have a T3 and i am getting about 1 minute of runtime. I know the battery is going bad, but still 1 minute. I dont have another battery that i can change ( I have 2 but they are both shot ). I checked for binding and found none the motor wasnt even hot, and im not overgeared. Does anyone have an idea of what can be wrong?

Dude, I think its time for a new battery. Before you go out and buy one, ask somone if you can borrow a bettery to make sure its nothnig on your car.

Are you sure it isn't the charger? What battery and charger are you using?

Might be a false peak problem having to do with the charger. Did your batts sit for a long time?

Is that batt getting hot when you're charging it??

Im using Gp3300's and a Electrifly Triton charger. They have sat for a long time and ive cycled them a few times and they havent got any better. I plan on getting some new batteries anyway. The batts are getting hot at the end of charging but im only putting in 2500 mah.

Hmmm.....yeah, like Dammod said, before you get new batts, borrow someone elses to make sure.

Ive had some NIMH's that went bad and they would get a full charge but for some reason they wouldn't put out any voltage and the runtime was terrible. After several cycles one of the batts got better but nowhere near good.
