IM NEW TO THE OVAL CARPET IM TRYING TO GET MY SON AND MYSELF INTO IT.WE HAVE RAN FOR A FEW WEEKS AND SEEM TO BE DOING OK. MY QUESTION IS ABOUT THE WEIGHT OF TRINITY 4CELL SPEC PACKS.I HEARD THERE ARE NEW ONES THAT WEIGH 240grams VS 220g.the packs i bought about a month ago weigh 220g.ARCOR SHOWS THE RULE TO BE 245g and ive seen racers with the heavier packs 240g.

Im Looking For Some Numbers To Go By.how Are You Charging And Discharging Them

what can you do to even get 1600mah out of these

since you're getting so many replies...

charge the packs at 5amps with .03 (30mv) cutoff. don't worry so much on the weight.

we charge just like meat said and are getting up to 2200 mah out of em ! i have 6, and all of em charge well over 1600

I use a Novak charger/power source and also charge at 5 amp (NiCD) and discharge using a row of Deans light bulbs. I've found out that these batterys can take alot of abuse just like the Nicd batterys we used years ago. I've never had ARCOR wieght my batterys, just the car complete with body. Don
