Since you don't run all tanks together, for the sake of saving money, why not buying less batteries than tanks? H/L stock batteries are prone to spoiled if you don't use them for long time.c.rainford73 wrote:I have several tanks I run out on a regular basis with nimh batteries and lipos and I don't remove them from the tanks unless I'm changing batteries. I don't remove them even when I'm storing them for periods of time with little to no explosions.....
yet.
Leave NiMH battery inside the tank?

Re: Leave NiMH battery inside the tank?
I actually rotate upgraded batteries I have 15 tanks and currently rotate 10 packs plus I have several 3000mah spares that I keep on hand in my shop so you are on the same page. I don't currently have any stock Heng Long batteries in service. My lipo packs are by far the best runners for my upgraded electronics and large speakers.
Tanks alot....

Re: Leave NiMH battery inside the tank?
SteelBird you are on the right track with the cost of the batteries it would benefit someone to keep fewer on hand. I happen to be a bit more of a spender and sadly like having too much stuff.
