Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / May 2005How long should it take?
I just picked up a pro-max black widow charger from ebay and have had a 7.2V 1300mAh battery charging for 2.5hrs on the 4amp setting and still it says its not ready?? is this normal? It's supposed to have peak detection and will blink when it has reached peak but nothing so far. Did I just get taken? thanks Stu > I just picked up a pro-max black widow charger from ebay and have had a 7.2V > 1300mAh battery charging for 2.5hrs on the 4amp setting and still it says [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Stu At 4amp charge rate, with a good battery pack (1300mah) that was discharged to about .9volts per cell, the charge time should be about 15 minutes. if pack should be boiling after 30min. if not.... negative feedback > I just picked up a pro-max black widow charger from ebay and have had a 7.2V > 1300mAh battery charging for 2.5hrs on the 4amp setting and still it says [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Stu Well figured it out--the charge rate select switch was defective basically staying permanently closed--there is no way this was due to age since i opened the switch and found the spring missing. Looks like someone popped a button, lost a spring then decided to cut his losses and sell it on ebay--what a dirtbag.... ebay ID bluegrooveracer -avoid him. stu > I just picked up a pro-max black widow charger from ebay and have had a 7.2V > 1300mAh battery charging for 2.5hrs on the 4amp setting and still it says [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Stu bluegrooveracer...288 feedback at 100%... politely email him and tell him the problem probably will work something out with you just my .02 > Well figured it out--the charge rate select switch was defective basically > staying permanently closed--there is no way this was due to age since i [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > > > Stu |
