Okay.
This Is my 1st post in the 1/18 scale section (I race 1/10). My question isn't exactly RC related, however some expertise coming from Micro RS4 racers running standard Nimh AA cells could help me.
I just purchased a Fujifilm A700 digital camera and can't figure out why I can't take more than 10 or 15 pics without my batteries letting me down. They ARE new mind you and were charged in a wall unit one or 2 days without use.
While I went back to the store to return it because it uses up so much juice in no time, the store clerk tells me I need to run at least 6 or 7 cycles on my batteries before they can perform to their peak. So what? I can take 100 pics instead of 15 with the same batteries after 7 cycles? Yeah right!!
First question. With 2500mah cells how many pics should an average camera be able to take on one charge?
Second, I want to put the store clerk's 6-7 charge cycle theory to the test. I got a GFX, so I can do all the charge and discharge cycles I want. Providing I let 2 hours rest time in between cycles, whats the recommended amp setting for charging, then how many amps do I discharge at, and with what kind of a cutoff voltage?
