I think I need a discharger. Everytime we race my batteries are left with 1/2 to 3/4 capacity. I think it would be a good idea to discharge them before recharging them. What do you guys think of the Atomic Ver II Discharger? I would probably get the Atomic Ver II Charging Rack while I was at it. Any comments?

That link to the new PN worked yesterday and not today.

It's fixed now,  I don't know what happened.

[Russ]

I think I might give the Atomics a try. I can get both for about $35 shipped.

I'm getting an atomic charger in the mail. let me know how you like the discharger ifyou get it.  Also whats the advantages of discharging them before a cycle?

[Russ]

Discharging reduces the chance of them developing a "memory" and taking less of a charge as they get older. Also discharging can "equalize" or "balance" the voltage in the cells so they are all the same before charging.

Sweet, I was about to buy one and found out another item I bought had a dis/charger lcd thingy in it so I think I am covered thanks for the info.

Nic,  if it's the lacrosse charger, it has a discharge feature on it.   Basically when you cycle the batteries, it discharges them and then charges them.

sweet, well at this point I just hope I get a car from the mail by thrusday I made the mistake of driving Brians mini-z and now can't touch the i-wavier again.  :-\

lol no worries actually I owe you one, now I have two 02's and one 010 and soon an monster t and a f-1. lol my wife already hates you guys and she hasn't even meet you, thats a good sign.

Russ, I got the atomic charger today, brand new, if you are interested, since I have a 2in1 discharger charger I dont' need this one... that is if you haven't already bought them.

[Russ]

I would be interested. Are they the same ones I linked?

[Nic-z]

Yes and no, I have only the charger.... in the picture you posted just like it, but no actual power suplly to go with. so I don't know how valuable that is or if thats how they sell them, it comes in its own little box but I don't have the discharger.
