Nosram battery charging & discharging 

Hey Alexander! Great video! Very informative and right to the point. Thank you very much for the tips!

The discharging tip is pretty useful to see battery use. I run 1/8 GTE and our mains are 10 minutes, need to play around with gearing a ESC settings to get enough run time and still be quick.

Thank you for this! Really helpful!

Great tips Alex. During stock racing charge or discharge cycle what is the maximum temperature the battery should be allowed to reach for peak performance (assuming no battery temperature rules)? Cheers.

Great video

Great video. Thank you.

With everything in the United States going stock heavy and club seemingly lax over 1C charge, Lipo safe/sack, and heat rules…the hobby is just asking for some kind of catastrophe happening at a club track, warehouse, outdoor park, or someone’s house charging say at 70a that i was informed then saw ystrdy at local track. just nuts and people don’t seem to care because it sells more batteries, chargers, motors, etc. than with mod. I left knowing i wasnt coming back to racing nor showing my boys this side of hobby anymore. -U10 PS- this guy should know that 1 of the Scandinavian countries temp banned elec rc racing after nimh explosions at a big meet hurt people and causes property damage iirc. This isnt good folks.

Hi Alexander. Thank you for the detailed video. Does all this apply (and is it recommended) for GT8 series? I use 10'000mAh IP LIHV batteries? So i would charge at 40A until 4,35V and discharge at 40A till 3,3V. Ideal storage 3,9V? a bit delayed comment, but hope you read/answer it. Thank you. Great work on your channel. (really considering 1/10 scale for the winter season)

This video was brought to you by the number 40! 😂

Great Video! Alexander, does the 3.3v per cell discharge rating apply to HV battery as well? ... So as for storage, so the 3.8 ish V also applied to HV batteries? Thanks!

Thanks Alex! Pro’s Pro!

Hey mate, thanks for the vid. I’m new to Rc. I was racing 20 years ago running nimh. So, with lipo tech the rule for charging amps at capacity of battery doesn’t apply? (Ie: 6000mah battery to be charged at max 6amps). I’m about to charge my nosram hv lipo 4600 mod / 6200 graphene 4.1. I should charge these at 10amps from my charger? Thanks

Hi Alex! Thnk you for another very interesting video! 😁👍So on a race day , stock for example, do you cycle the battery before each time you go to the track? Thanks!

I don't get it. Lipos should NEVER get discharged to 3.3volts a cell. Lipo is considered empty at 3.7v/cell. Period. That's a sure way to kill your batteries! I've discharged my brand new Pulse 5500mAh batteries in my jet to 3.3volts a cell because I wasn't paying attention. Two weeks later I went to fly again and after I landed the battery was at around 3.7v/cell but it was all puffed! Why are you not talking about C ratings and capacity? Some noob is going to watch this and will try to discharge a low C rating lipo 40amps and it'll catch fire.

Thx for these infos👍 How about new batterys, how to handle it before racing?

Hi alexander! I have been looking for the nosram 5900 shorty for many months but it is impossible to find them. Can you tell me a little more to find out if they will be available again soon. I thank you in advance. best regards, Axel

Hi Alex So what is The ideal Storage Volts Per Cell Please? Cheers Thks For Sharing..

So I run VTA class 25.5 turn blinky mode .. I just bought an Icharger and I’m running Trinity white carbon 5900 mah 2s packs. I can charge them at 40 amps ? For real ?

before charging, i have to discharge first to 3.3v per cell? then charge it?

Hey Alexander! Thanks for sharing! Is there any way to measure the internal resistance?

Hello @Alexander! As much as I know and what I have learned at university and school at physics, that resistance rises with temperature, so how can it be that, temperature in batteries reduces the internal resistance?

I just got the HV LCG MODIFIED shorty.. 😂 can I charge at 2C? it’s 4600mah for the 2wd buggy..

sure seems like a lot of abuse to the battery just to warm it. why not use some kind of external heater to warm the batteries other than trying to make a fireworks show out of them.
