Gotta love Sanyo Eneloops, been using them for years and they're still perfectly matched and in great shape. B)

NiCd fine for me :y:

Scored 2 Sanyo 2400 sticks (12 cells) and made 4 6r out of it.



Brought them with me this weekend and we had loads of fun bashing our Willys.

Charge them with 4.8 and 60mv still take 2200-2400 mAh

:laugh:

my conrad energy (nimh 3000) are in age of almost 3 years and still take around 3000 mAh not bad but when they gone i will return to Sanyo batterypacks

Waterbok, how are you getting on with Sanyo high capacity NiCds? - I haven't tried Sanyo ones yet, but all the other NiCds over 1500mAh I've ever had have been pants.
I tend to stick to sub-1400, preferrably Tamiya when I can lay my hands on them

chargers -
I prefer run-back types, but in recent years I've been using a delta-peak type for speed/bashing, then use the run-back every third charge, to get rid of the memory effect imparted by the delta-peak charging sessions.

The delta-peak has 3x current settings (1A, 2A & 4A) & will also slow charge.
I usually use the 2A setting for stick packs, 4A just makes them hot & doesn't charge them properly. The 1A setting is handy for parallel-charging trannies when I'm short of time for slow charging them.
I power the charger with a modified 12V/6A laptop power supply.




The other charger I use is an ancient Acoms run-back type, hooked up to an even older 5A "model flight" transformer.
The charger had to be re-cased back in the 80's when I was racing, due to catching fire (Like they all did). The case used to belong to a car-phone charger, y'know, one of those suitcase phones with a separate handset...
I added an ammeter to the power supply so I could keep an eye on the charging current. It's good enough for every day charging, but I use a more accurate multimeter when I'm interested in more exact numbers

Sanyos are excellent. I reckon they're as good as it gets. :y:
Therefore a bit of envy about wb's pack stash. ;)

That one's for waterbok (or who else has good skills on the subject), haven't built a pack myself yet...

Another brand worth mentioning for NiCads is Hopf (German brand).
I have two of these, too bad I messed one up by switching the poles and pumping in 2Ah.
Killed at least one cell with that (maybe I can make 6V from it).

:whistle:
