    ^ agree. It sounds like it's false peaking. I have a charger that false peaks constantly.

    yeah probably not the best charger, It's the Tazr from Hobby People.
    A clone of many like it, but it is the same age as the battery.

    Seems to be doing fine now

    If i may suggest http://www.hobbypartz.com/thac6smbachw.html It will charge everything and lots of people use the brand, I've had really good luck charging nicad,nimh,LIPO so far. U can even do car batteries lol

    Yeah, but. We just bought a permanent position under the pavilion and a "key" to the new lights. So, we can own the track, at any point in time. Again, two miles from home, and we run the show...
