Starter Box battery?
#1
Im planning on getting a couple nice stick packs for a starter box. Ive heard that the venom 3600's are good but does anyone have any other suggestions?

Also when I was looking on a website about the venom 3600's it said this and i dont really understad what that means...

"REQUIRES: Charger: Having Negative DeltaV or Zero DeltaV Peaking capabilities"
-Does that mean it just has to be a peak charger?

Thx

Yeah, I think thats what it means - being a "peak" charger, as opposed to a timed charger.
Also, the obvious, that it must be a NIMH charger.

wehat that delta v thing is. its the peak detection of teh charger. if you charge a nimh battery with an old nicd charger it will seriously overheat the cells and drastically shorten life

If your gonna look into gettin a battery ...if your starter box can hack it ...get a one of the small 12 volt batteries.

I personally use a Kinetic Energy 12 volt Gel Cell ... the are used for high power car audio ...but I can run 2 chargers and my starter box with zero problems ...
Drive it like ya stole it .....

Everyone knows that 2 6 volt tractor batteries wired in series is the way to go. Only weighs 35 lbs.

Or, if you are handy with the soldering iron, go to Stormer Hobbies site, click on battery bargains, and pick up some loose cells and build your own custom 12cell battery. You will need a charger than can hack it though.

Or you can pick up the cheap assembled stick packs from that list for $15-18 each.

What do you mean by having a charger that can hack it?? I know that it needs to be able to acept the higher cells or voltage or whatever.... but how would you know if your charger can do it??

If you build a custom 12cell pack it will be 14.4 volts and your charger will have to output higher volts to properly charge it.

It isn't a wall charger. It is $65 and requires a power supply.

They are different voltages Mike. They have wall chargers for the reciever packs and radio packs.... the one for the starter box battery needs a power supply.
