Fine for bashing, I wouldnt use it for racing as it's no high performance matched GP cells, but for regular messing around it should be fine.

I'd try these, they are cheaper, and I have 2 packs. I think they are very very good for the money. I use them in a RC10B4 FT with the 6.5 Novak brushless setup and deliver great run-times. I've never had them false peak or any other such problems

the ones stockerbrain mentioned are probably better than the venom 3600's. Besides for the price of the venoms + 2.99 he can get the boom booms which are a side by side configuration, have 200mah more run time, and probably have better lifetime and voltage

R/C got a point I have heard nothing but good things about BOOMBOOM's though I don't have any experience of my own with them, not yet anyway[>:]. Out of the 3600's I have I really like the SMC's, what I'd really like to do is compare them to Boom's

Yeah, well, we all get so carried away with sharing experiences and equipment that we forget the original question. Among others, I'll raise my hand and say "my bad!"

With most batteries i've heard to do the following.
1.charge at 1 amp till done and discharge.
2. charge at 2 amp till done and discharge.
3. charge at 3 amp till done and discharge.
and so on till you reach the disired rate of charge.
P.S. I can't remember where I heard this sorry.
1.charge at 1 amp till done and discharge.
