[FTC]: External Battery Setting

Sup,

I was wondering how to charge the battery? Well, more specifically, what amp value do we use to charge the batteries? This is *not* the first time we're charging them, but we had a debate about this and I really wanna know.

Thankx.

Re: [FTC]: External Battery Setting

I would recommend the low setting for almost all the time. I heard a few people say that their batteries had severe problems if they charged on the 1.8 Amp setting, though that was a while back.

we charge on the .9 Amp setting except when we NEEDED a battery. Like if you juts need to get the voltage up a little bit quickly right before the round, try the 1.8 Amp setting, but the .9 Amp setting is what I recommend just because I heard a few people say that charging completely with the 1.8 Amp setting caused a few (and rare) problems.
