Wow, it is small! Never saw this next to anything to show the size...

Run them batteries and storaged charged them much fasterSo I got the Venom Pro Duo because my kids Traxxas charger would timeout every time I tried to put the batteries in storage mode. Now I've got both batteries connected to the Venom, and 2 hours later both cells in both batteries are sitting at 3.84v. 2 hour later and it still isn't finished? Does this sound right?
Im sure there's info on here.... But I figure I'd throw this question out there again. I'm an oldie who's becoming a newbie again. Im currently using the old MRC rb 465 charger from the days of late 80's early 90's.
Looking for a charger that will do my Nimh packs and the lipo's I will eventually have!!!
What do you guys suggest?
Thanks!

Not sure what was going on, but I stopped both batteries and started the storage mode again. It then brought both batteries down to 3.81 fairly quick. This charger uses 3.75 for a storage charge instead of 3.85 and I guess that can't be changed, so I stopped them. (Both cells in both batteries were exactly the same; 3.81.)
Don't think I'd call them bad yet. They've only been charged 4 times since brand new, were never run beyond the ESC cut-off, and were storage charged after every use.
Also Dustin; this is when putting them to storage voltage, not charging them. All cells are always within .01 volts of each other.
I was just running until the ESC low voltage cutoff, then putting them in storage mode. Figured I was close enough (and the truck won't really move in LVM anyway). I'll definitely pick one of these up and try it out, though!Oh, sorry, I missed that part. Most chargers (that don't have a regenerative function) take forever to discharge because they have nothing to do with the energy other than turn it into heat.
Get yourself one of those cheap lipo alarms like below and set it to 3.7v which should get you a resting voltage of right around 3.85v. Running them down to a storage condition is way quicker and a lot more fun than babysitting a charger.
Also, storing at 3.75v kind of defeats the purpose imo.

So I just bought some of these lipo alarms, and got a brand new 6S battery yesterday. When I got home, I plugged the alarm in and it showed cell voltages anywhere from 3.71 up to 3.89. I was pissed, figuring my battery was out of whack. I plugged the battery into my Venom Pro Duo, and it showed 5 cells at 3.84 and one at 3.85.Get yourself one of those cheap lipo alarms like below and set it to 3.7v which should get you a resting voltage of right around 3.85v.

I know it's better for the alarm to show a voltage lower than normal rather than higher, but is this typical of these alarms? Seems extremely inaccurate to me, considering they say the accuracy is within .01.
