[pajerokid]

djerms::: found this info over the net..... quite informative :D

Battery Technologies

Rechargeable batteries in portable lighting devices and two-way radios are principally made using Nickel Cadmium (NiCad), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) or Lithium Ion. (Li-Ion) technologies. Rechargeable flashlight batteries are generally Nickel Cadmium.

Each type of rechargeable battery type has unique properties:

NiCad and NiMH

The main difference between the two is the fact that NiMH batteries (the newer of the two technologies) offer higher energy densities than NiCads. NiMH delivers approximately twice the capacity of its NiCad counterpart. What this translates into is increased run-time from the battery with no additional bulk to weigh down the device. NiMH also offers another major advantage: NiCad batteries tend to suffer from what is called the "memory effect". NiMH batteries are less prone to develop this affliction and thus require less maintenance and care. NiMH batteries are also more environmentally friendly than their NiCad counterparts since they do not contain heavy metals.

Li-Ion

Li-Ion has quickly become the emerging standard for portable power. Li-Ion batteries produce the same energy as NiMH batteries but weigh approximately 35% less. This is crucial in applications such as portable two-way radios or notebook computers where the battery makes up a significant portion of the device's weight. Another reason Li-Ion batteries have become so popular is that they do not suffer from the memory effect. They are also environmentally friendly because they don't contain toxic materials such as Cadmium or Mercury.

Memory Effect

NiCad batteries, and to a lesser extent NiMH batteries, are prone to what is referred to as the "memory effect". What this means is that if a battery is repeatedly only partially discharged before recharging, the battery "forgets" that it has the capacity to further discharge all the way down. To illustrate: If you, on a regular basis, fully charge your battery and then use only 50% of its capacity before the next recharge, eventually the battery will become unaware of its extra 50% capacity which has remained unused. The battery will remain functional, but only at 50% of its original capacity.

The way to avoid the "memory effect" is to fully cycle (fully charge and then fully discharge) the battery at least once every two to three months. Simply leaving the device in the ON position and letting it run can discharge batteries completely. This will help insure your battery remains healthy. Once discharged, recharge the battery completely according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Maximizing Battery Performance

There are several steps you can take to insure that you get maximum performance from the rechargeable battery:

Break In New Batteries

New batteries come in a discharged condition and must be fully charged before use. It is recommended that you fully charge and discharge the new battery two to four times to allow it to reach its maximum rated capacity.

Prevent the Memory Effect

Keep the battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it periodically. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries, which do not suffer from the memory effect.

Keep the Batteries Clean

It's a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and the device.

Exercise the Battery

Do not leave the battery dormant for long periods of time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. If a battery has not been used for a long period of time, perform the new battery break in procedure described above.

Battery Storage

If you don't plan on using the battery for a month or more, we recommend storing it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects. NiCad, NiMH and Li-Ion batteries will self-discharge during storage; remember to break them in before use.

Pajerokid,
Maraming salamat sa info. Kaya nga i'm planning to sell na my 2 nicd batts and my charger to buy a 3000nimh battery and a charger for this. Help me out naman baka may alam ka na gustong bumili. Pero my priority is still glued on buying the futaba esc..also ung tolda sa bed ng pickup ko hehe :lol: :lol:

Saan kaya ako makakabili nung tulad ng lrp charger mo? hhmmm :?: :?

[pajerokid]

Hmmmm. Pare text or call this no. CHERI 0917-8158439. Meron daw sha NiMH charger for 2500. For sure pwede pa tawaran. Siya may-ari ng Richie Ritz. This is somewhere in Paranaque. Samahan kita if youre interested :D The batt costs 2600 but sulit naman coz ang tagal diba. :D

My advice: get your 2400mAh batt back from John. Mataas pa ang value nito. If you want, ako na bibili sa iyo nito come payday. :D :D :D

i'll reasearch kung sino nagdadala ng lrp products dito. i'll get back to you later :D

Associated LRP Microcharger

[kupaloids]

update::: i got a 3000mAh battery.... 2600 plus an LPR charger 1600. The battery holder costs 200 bucks (comes with a lot of other plastic parts). Mamaya gogogo na!

Pre yung LPR charger mo ba designed to charge Ni-Mh batts? 220 o 110 volts? Car battery input meron din? Any idea kung magkano ang 2400 Ni-Cd batts? Kailangan ko kasi bumili ng new packs for my upcoming E-Stampede. Salamas!!! Dami ko tanong no? Hehehe! :wink:

[pajerokid]

kupaloids::: Long time so hear ah! Busy ka ba maghukay ng lagis? o busy mag-rc? hehehe :D

Pare yung charger ko pwede mag-charge ng NiMH. Parang updated version to. Auto-detect kasi ng max batt capacity. As you could see sa pic, this is a DC charger which is intented to be connected to a car battery. Buti na lang meron akong 220v-12v adaptor tapos dun ko na kinakabit. Mura lang at P1,600. Ang problema, wala na nito dito. Si djerms naghahanap. Sa towerhobbies meron. i-search mo, keyword: "associated charger" 39 dollars ata.

Pare wag ka na mag Nicad! hassle yon kelangan mo pa i-discharge.

anyway eto prices ng batt sa Pinas:

Tamiya 3300mAh NiMH -> Php3,300 (Lil's) (Note: HINDI SULIT!)

Tamiya 3000mAh NiMH -> Php2,500 (ActionHobbies) (Note: SULIT!!!)
-> Php2,695 (Lil's)

Team Orion 3000mAh -> Php2,600 (Manila Hobbies)

Tamiya 2400 NiMH -> Php2,200 (Lil's)

Konti lang diff ng price ng 2400 sa 3000. and remember, minimal memory effect ang NiMH. Grabe naman mahal nung 3300! imagine Php800 difference for 300mAh???

pare nakuha mo na yung video? putol yon kasi wala nga akong makitang matinong software :D

[kupaloids]

Yan ang hinahanap ko! Price list ng batts. sa pinas!
Nagsusuma kasi ako kung magkano aabutin ng E-Stampede ko. Kailngan ko bumili ng 2 batt packs and extra charger for it kasi yung TL-01 and accesories ko iiwan ko sa anak ko tpos yung Stampede ang dadalin ko dito sa Saudi. So far umaabot palang ng $230 yung estimate ko. Puro sa Towerhobbies mangagaling yung mga parts. Haayy magastos itong pinasukan kong Hobby na ito! Pero what the heck, I'm enjoying it naman so go for it! Dibadibs!? :wink:

Pre di ko natanggap yung video :x paki send nalang ulit sa valenzuelm*yahoo.com. Salamt ulit!

[pajerokid]

ok pare! will send tomorrow. hindi ako naka dsl ngayon eh :D Gastos nga! but enjoy naman!!! :D

[Ivux-Silver]

Sali na ko diyan...
Just had mine assembled yesterday...


It's on TB-01 chasis with full bearing options :D

[pajerokid]

WELCOME to the club Ivux-Silver! :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

[kupaloids]

Hehehe! Yan ang sinasabi ko inyo na makakalaro ko dito! Ganda no!? Pareho pa kaming Ford ang gamit! :P

[mbt]

aba aba lumalalaki na yung Tsikot R/C club :lol: galing talaga sa PR itong si pajerokid hahaha :lol:

[splerdu]

mechanical speed control siya and sabay lang kayo sa drag race? ba't ganun? pareho naman yung motor and transmissions and basic chassis design and suspension design ng ta02 at tl-01 a diba?

walang pinagkaiba ang mechanical speed control sa ESC pag full throttle. maganda yung esc pag part power yung ginagamit, otherwise they're both flowing maximum voltage and it's the motors that will make the big difference.

[splerdu]

=(

wala pa rin akong pera pambili ng ESC... ammahal kasi ng ESC na pwede gamitin sa TXT-1 eh =(
