for those that don't have dishargers on your chargers, what do you use? i always disharged my reciever/radio packs from my 977, but now thats gone. what other way can i disharge them completly?
 
I use 2 1157 car tail lights solder them together with a connector works relay good,it will discharge them all the way for best charging. U can also use a old rc electric motor but takes longer and will not discharge all the way. hope this helps :)

haa.. will that drain it too much with only 2 light? thats a good idea.. i guess my van will be short one blinker and one tail light:D.. thanx bud
 
I have used the lights on all my batts have never had a prob, my 4200ma in the TT have done it 7 or 8 times now and it never gets past the second light on my volt meter after 2 hours of run time. Hella charge with it......
 
Each 1157 supposedly equals 2 to 2.5 amps, so 4 to 5 if wired in parrallel. Make sure your discharge lead wires from you pack can support the amp draw.
