I just bought a Traxxas power cell 500 MAH ID battery off Amazon and I have a Traxxas ID EZ pack and it’s not letting me charge the battery. It starts to charge then like two minutes later it stops and goes to 3A can’t figure out what it means and can’t get the battery to charge

NiMH batteries loose 1% charge per day

Looks awesome 🎉😊

When I put my battery on the charger the charger doesn’t show a battery connected is there any way to fix that

good video! we are nimh battery manufacturer!

How about mentioning the prognosis if the battery charged is hot but offers no run time?

this is exactly the information i needed to know. i was going nuts, not understanding why the battery won't hold a charge. thank you!!!

this is informative can you post a similar video for charging nicd batteries? specifically those who have been not used for a few years? I have an issue where my charger says the batteries are charged but the mah reading is only a fraction of the stated rating. (for example, it is rated at 3k mah but when done the charger says it charged it to 300 mah) thanks.

Awesome video

What about if my battery is just showing ready when I plug it in

Thank you. Very simple and even more helpful.

I don't know anything about these batteries or charging methods. I have a standard outlet charger that came with my airsoft rifles that use Nimh batteries. The batteries won't charge at all. When plugged in the charger light is just green and the batteries are dead when plugged into the rifles. Any way of fixing this? I got them used with the airsoft rifles

Was just here the other day to get a model supra GT, their selection is incredible

I can’t get my charger to work for NiMh batteries - HELP! I have the Spektrum S155 and it works great for LiPOs but no luck with NiMH. I’ve noticed that it won’t allow the ‘Start’ charging function until a balance lead is plugged in when charging my LiPOs. However my NiMh batteries just have the one pin or Tamiya connectors (I have 2 different NiMH batteries for two different RC cars) but the NiMh batteries have no balance lead so my charger won’t enable the ‘Start’ charging function. Any idea how to get this to work on the Spektrum S155? Thanks.

I have 2 8.4V 3000 MAH battery, I have a charger that has always worked with these batteries but for both of them when I plug them in the charger stays on red for ready and never sends a charge

Is this like the the other “new” artisana where all the good quality wood is removed “for the environment” and the instructions and plans are absent? AHEM.. “conveniently available online only”

Hi, after only one charge and run of my nimh venom 4200 battery, I tried charging it on my venom pro 4 charger, and it won't charge. It reads: "connection break" is my new battery completely dead?!

Lipos can sink ships 🚢 Did you hear about the electric ⚡️ vehicles 🚗 that burnt and the whole ship sank You still working there Jerry? Hope so 👍

Your videos are really great dude! Make more videos please 👍🏎💨💨💨

Does this model have the option of building without the sales ?.....or have them rolled up

Why won't my brand new Spektrum S155 smart G2 charger recognize that my crappy NiMH battery is empty? The NiMH battery is only a month old and came with the rc car I just bought. I installed the newest firmware on the charger, so everything is up to date. I charged the battery with the 200mA charger a couple days ago, used up the battery today and wanted to try charging it on the smart charger for the first time. But when I plug in my NiMH battery and dial in all the settings, it reads the empty battery as having 90% charged, and only charges for 6 or 7 minutes. Funny thing is, it'll charge maybe a couple hundred mAh before stopping, but I can repeat this process multiple times. The battery reads full (99%), but will still charge again and again (for roughly 6-10 minutes - around 200-300mAh). What's up with this? Do I just repeat this process until the total mAh put into the battery (over multiple charging cycles) reaches the 1800 mAh rating on the battery? The 5000mAh 2S LiPo charges great and works great in the car too, but this backup NiMH is confusing me. Edit: so the battery was charging as I was writing this, and the 3rd time I charged it, it read 99% for the 47 minutes that it took to reach 1400 mAh capacity charged (in addition to the previous two charging cycles) before I stopped the charging manually. It didn't shut off automatically after 6-10 minutes like it did the previous 2 or 3 cycles.

hello I purchased 2 NiMH battery AAA 1.2v 850 mAb , I found one of them that accepts electric charging and the other is dead and does not accept any charging. What should I do?

Can you attach a sony camera to this to take photos of what your seing

What does it mean if the battery gets so hot you can’t touch it I have I have four of these batteries and I’ve never had this problem until today. When I went to go take it off the charger it literally burnt my fingers. Does this mean the battery is bad?

I had that experience before with them batteries! But then like you said I charged them a few times, and I felt the battery was hot to the touch. That’s when I knew they where fully charged! Thank you for the tutorial!😎👍

I have vintage rc 7.2 volt batteries how to I know if they are good. They ate warm to the touch when charger. But, how do I k ow how much life is left in them.

I already owned a DX6 transmitter, do you recommend me to upgrade it to NX6?

I have a 7.2v 5000 mAh NiMH that sat for approximately 5 years. It gets warm and I have a charger that doesn't auto-shutoff. The charger is a brick-style transformer and it gets hot AF while trying to charge the NiMH. I guess I'll keep trying... how do we re-activate them once they go dormant if we let NiMH sit too long? This Hobby Wholesale store looks awesome, I wish we had stores like this out by us!

Built the RC10T when I was 14. I'll be 40 in a few weeks. This is absolutely something I need to get back into. Thanks for the video!

Finally figured out that if you turn your delta peak way up to 20, you can get an old nimh battery to wake up after several years lol.

well.... yes and no. Batteries do go dormant when they sit. Yes you may need to charge then a couple times because they may think they are charged and they are not. however, if you have put them on charge 3 times in a row and they are still not charging up fully, then you need to follow this by a few charge and discharge cycles to wake them up. the first couple cycles may not give much capacity, but if they are good they will wake up. if you have to put them on repeated charge over and over again, your charger is not worth a s$%#. Also there are (i have several) chargers that can quickly charge a nimh battery without heating it up. These advanced computerized chargers are what you should be using as heat during charging is not good for the battery. Just because the battery is not heating up doesnt mean it is not full. A good quality charger will throttle back and prevent cell heating unless you are trying to charge at a very high rate they may not get warm while charging (and shouldnt) unless they are older. As they get older they will start heating near end of charge.

I brought my friend a 10 year old traxxas bandit that was in like new condition with a 7 cell Nimh and brought him B6 charger with traxxas adapter to go with it. When he tried to charge at a normal rate the voltage jumped up really quickly and said it was charged even thought it wasn't, I then got him to turn off the time limit on the charger and do a discharge/charge cycle @ 0.1A which took a few days completely fixed and restored the battery ri new, and took above 5000mah of charge despite being a 4000mAh pack. Had the exact same thing happen to me with a slash the guy thought the battery was stuffed, just needed to be cycled on trickle charge.

2 3 4 8 times lol ok

can i ask ... i am looking to buy rechargeable batterys for my Bluetooth headphones it uses AAA batterys 3x ... can i use NiMH 1.2 V or li-on that is 1.5V is this going to cause problems ?? the voltage difference ?? ( the original discrimination seas they come whit Battery Cell Type ‎NiCAD )

NiMh are useless in this day...you have Life to replace them.

Sucks to see all those venoms knowing they recently went out of business

you have no rubber band airplane parts, rubber band propeller,fai tan super sports rubber band.

My battery is notcharging it's just becoming so hot while charging

My Venom Pro2 says "Battery Check Low Voltage" when I try to charge a 5000mah 7.2V NIMH 6 cell batt. The manual says "Voltage in one cell in the pack is too low to charge safely.Please check the voltages of each cell". HOW do I check voltages of each cell? Yeah the battery has sat around for a year, unused. There's nothing that can be done to tell this charge to fix this? These NIMH's are lame... and the charger is pretty lame if it can't do anything for this. 1 cell goes to low and the entire pack is worthless? Seriously?

The best hobby shop around and big thanks to Ian helped me with my revo 3.3 great guy very knowledgeable I will be shopping there for all my hobby needs

O q compro p ver melhor Não consigo ver os planetas No máximo a Lua

I bought airsoft gun 3 years ago and didnt use it for 1.5 years yesterday i wanted to use it and fully charged NiMh battery on simple charger, and took it after seeing green light on it, but when i put it into gun it just worked for 2-3 times of shooting and stopped working. So should i put it back into charger and leave it for few hours, try again, and do the same circle untill it starts working properly ?

Wish they did digital still, cheaper , more track for space, and packing away when not in use

I love bruder toys

Can u use a diff tripod with this scope, if so how

Followed your advice and it worked! Saved me from buying 4 new battery packs.

I have a God awful fear of battery explosion and house catching fire. 😖😫 How safe are these nimh batteries and can I just use a regular plug in adapter??

Ive run my discharge/ charge cycle on my battery charger, the battery is 4200 7.2 V. should my charger read somewhere near 4200 when its finished ? sorry for the dumb questions but i'm totally new to understanding this. I just remember buying a pretty expensive model race car years back, stuck it the garage due to a new job and it sat there ever since in its box.
