I just bought a Accu-Cycle Elite charger/discharger. I am hoping it will be able to do all i need for battery maintenance on the 4200mah batteries for my e-savage and the RX battery for my savage 4.6. From what i have read in Kostaktinos battery turorial the 50ma-2a fast charge and discharge with a 0.8v-1.2v cutoff are all i need for reviving my batteries after storage or misuse. Or do i need more equipment? Also, if i decide to go with LiPo for my e-sav in the future will its 1-3cell capacity be enough? i will probably end up with some Team Orion 4800mah lipo packs or something similar for the purpose of increased runtime. Here is a list of the specs on the charger http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=289050 . I will also need a fast charger in the 4-6a range. I dont really want to spend too much on this $50-$60 or so. I havent been getting along with the GT thunder(false peaks) I have been eyeing up the Hobbico Dual Peak, anyone have opinions on that one? or other suggestions? Thanks fer any help!
