are the batteries in your charger full?

[duratraxxman]

um there new

[duratraxxman]

are rechargeable batteries ok to use in charger

[z-man280]

they should be. Funny thing, with a new cahrger/battery, dont be surprized for it to false-peak. my micro did this often. Cycle the battery twice on the charger, then see what it does.

[josh222]

the charger it comes with is a little iffy, putting it on twice seems to work well

[duratraxxman]

ok im trying that now

[duratraxxman]

and it worked pretty good so im ganna do it 3 times now

Make sure you have the "Alkaline" batteries in the charger and the "Heavy Duty" ones in the transmitter. If you get it backwards, the charger won't work properly.
Also, check for binding (usually not a problem)
Otherwise, if you charge it 2 times and the battery is warm, don't go 3. If you go too many times you run the risk of having problems.

im putting rechargable batteries in it, hope they work

[yellowbeejato]

I run rechargables in mine, they work.

Alternatively, if you have a regular hobby charger with adjustable amperage rate, you can create an adapter and charge it straight off your "good" charger. BIG difference in performance. Take care not to charge at too high a charge rate though (it's a 150mah battery, so anywhere between something like .15-.45 amps should work without being detrimental).

ok but i dont have an adjustable one but the rechargables seem to be doing fine

That's why I said "if" you have one.

The rechargeables should be great.
