So, lets start from the begining. The only discharger that I own is part of the charger and only discharges at 3amps. I charge my cells at 5amps before each race and usually discharge them either straight after on Daz's pro peak at 30amp discharge or later at home at 3amps (discharge to .9volts per cell). They then sit there for up too 2weeks before getting another charge. What am I doing wrong here? (I have no equiliser either...)

everything, charge them between 5 and 6 amps then run them put them away with what ever is left in them, this next part is just my personnel pref, i discharge them, from that straight to the equaliser tray, then straight on the charger for the next run, at the next meeting

so your batteries are kept in a charged state while not in use (i.e. all week?) or do you mean that they are discharged and equalised at the meeting, stored "flat" and then charged for the next race?

Cheers big red!!

That was done due to the track being so slick and rutted....

Might see people moving up the winds from a 10 to maybe a 11 or 12 in 2wd.... 4wd WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

They are indeed as they are available in the already passed blue/silver heatshrink. They are also well worth if if you're looking at getting some new cells!

Hey Ash,
It is the cell which is approved by the BRCA, not the matchers label. The cell being matched by Voodoo is a BRCA approved cell.

You're right Chris, but this has been blurred over the last couple of years by LRP, Nosram and as we well know EPIC, all of which as IB cells in a matchers heatshrink.

Voodoo use the cells in their original heatshrink so they are fine!
