I have an Intellert 1200 8-cell saddle pack. I am using 1.5 amps and peak 7 mV/C. Wondering if you all recommend going to 8 mV/C. I tried charging at 1.2 amps but my run time was not as long. I saw somewhere they are making higher mAh Intellert packs that I think are 1400. Is any one running the higher packs here and how much more time do you get from them if any?
Thanks

hmmm. I charge my 8 cell IB1200s at anywhere from 1.8 to 2.0A and
5 mv/c. Lots of punch and excellent run times.

Might try a higher amperage but 5 mV/C seems kind of low. Thanks as that is what I am wonting to see what people’s opinion is. What do others have to say about the subject?
Thanks!

Austin at Max Amps said 1 amp at .5 mV/C. At one amp it seems it would take forever to charge. Others please post your opinions.
Thanks

i use 7mv/c and anywhere from 1.1 to 3 amps for charging. Needless to say at 3 amps the cells pack a wicked punch but the life of my pack will suffer.....
the way i remember it is charge them at 1.2 amps for like 5 charges then go to 2 amps.....anything higher than that you must watch your battery temp. Dont let the cells go over 130-140 degrees....

On peak chargers what do you use as far as Peak mV/C?
Thanks

What do you mean "excellent run times" with Mini inferno ?
Is there any way to run over 10 minutes?
That's the most i managed to run.
I have a mini inferno with Xspeed motor + 8cell pack 1100 mha from kyosho.

charge at up to 2 amps at .7 or .8 mv per cell. .7 if you want your packs a little more toasty and .8 if you want a little more runtime
