Default Trakpower charger

Hi guys just a couple of questions

first one i have a trakpower 3600 battery and charger the charger is set at 3.5 amps but the power supply says it is only drawing 2.5 amps
and it seems to take awhile to charge

second one is anybody having problems with connectors coming out i replaced all the connectors on the speedo and they seem slack when pushing them into the battery and acouple of times they've come out during a race

I found that even though they are called corally connectors, if they are not the official corally's then they tend to be loose, as I had the same problem....

I am now using the Top racing ones, which are a nice 'snug' fit, without being overly tight

You can get em here:

I think you have the same power supply as me, assuming it is the Pro-Peak.

Paul you're pulling 2.5A @ 13.8V = 34.5W out of the charger and putting into the cells 3.5A @ 8.4V = 29.4W. So the charger is pretty efficient only wasting 5W.

Think that's right
