The other day I had my girlfreind charge a few new battery packs. All of them had power pols canecters, but one of the Trinity 1400 pack's conecters must of been backwards. So the battery had reverce voltage from a hobbyco 910 charger at about 3 amp for 15 min. After charging the pack (the right way) it seems to be all right, but did I damage the pack.

No you didn't. this was one of the things iv experimented with and the pack may have less holding cap. otherwise its fine. :)

Kinda reminds me of the time when I went to re-peak a battery in a rush before a race and not paying attention attached the connectors backwards on a fully charged pack...oh what beautiful sparks. The battery (a matched 2000 pack) and the charger (Novak Digi Peak Plus) seemed to have survived without any longlasting emotional problems.

I charged it the other day with the Hobbyco charger, and it only had a run time of about one min. with a stock motor. In a day or two I'll find my Tekin charger, and see if that helps.
