They would take & hold a full charge, but I wasn't getting a full power release from them anymore, like maybe could there be one cell in ten restricting amp flow... trks & equip ran like a half charged pack from start to end. Now with ch mix, I haven't bought any new packs in better than 5yrs.

I am only using NiMH Venom all other battery died to fast or 1/2 charge or one cell was bad. I have consumed a lot of battery sense 1982 when I started playing with RC Cars ugh....And Lipo aj aj aj
