Post subject: discharging |
 |
|
Thought I was going to fly yesterday, but it didn`t happen. So I got
3 batts that need to be discharged back to storage voltage.
Takes forever on My charger which only does 1 amp max
discharge. Any tips? back in the day we used to make
dischargers with dome -lite bulbs. I realize that we can`t take
the voltage too low on these batts. Anybody else dealing with
this? Not gonna buy another charger. I`ll figure something
out, or just deal with it.

I run mine down with the helicopter or plane. I start it up but keep the collective such that it stays on the ground. I little harder for the planes. I teather the tail to a screw driver and stick it in the ground. Then fire up the motor for 5 minutes.
Thinking about a body like yours Scott for my B400 afther I rebuild the rotor head.

Jack.. I would recommend this place.....
http://www.helicoptersonly.com/contents/en-us/d195.html
The quality, price, & kit contents are all better than the
Heli-artist I got the 1`st time. Service is good too.
They`re on the East coast.

This helps alot, because the fuse is really made to fit the t-rex 450,
but it`s easy to do. This Guy is good.
Can`t wait till You get it starded.
