New Batteries?

I think youll find these are ni-mh batteries with a silicon wire lead for connection.

OK thanks, i feel a bit think now.

Yeah Joseph, just normal NiMh packs mate, they can be charged from ur supernova. I was looking into those batteries to use in our new bot. I dont know really, look ok, cheap and decent, just there a new company, so personaly im sticking with GP and Sanyo, but dont get me wrong, KAN might be a decent company that make good batteries, i dont know.

Mr Stu

They are! They have been used for a long time in aeroplanes and have a very simular rating to the Other 3000mah Ni-mhs around

Thanks anyway but Ive decided to go with NiCads, NiMh cant give the currents I require.

Does anyone know about the performace of D sized nicads? Are all forms of cadnica suitable for the high amps of our sport? I have seen D sized 4000mAh batteries and wonder if they would give the same current as the sub C size.

Thanks

hi guys,
Im looking to re-solder a battery pack into another shape, to fit into my feather, do i need to discharge the pack before re-soldering it, also are there any other things i should look out for when doing this??
Thanks, Mark

Use a nice big iron when doing it. Preferably 80watt or bigger. You dont need to discharge the cells before resoldering but make sure all cells are in the same state of charge. (i.e. charged or discharged)

Thanks Ian

Philip from what I hear the D cells are not suitable for heavy discharge. Sorry mate

Ian

Of course theyd work just as well as the smaller versions. Its even likely that theyll be able to supply even higher current.

If theyre good quality, but that applies to all kinds of batteries (just that high discharge cells are less common in larger sizes).
