How to Bring a dead rechargeable battery back to life
Problem: The battery in my R/C car wouldn’t charge. This can happen sometimes when NiMH and NiCad batteries go without use for long periods of time. Solution: Voltage Blast! Please use caution as batteries can SPLODE! Also, I have no idea if this works on lithium type batteries. There are no guarantees that this will work and this could cause damage to your… Everything. In this case I used an AC/DC adaptor to give a 4.8V 150mAh NiMH battery made for a Losi Micro T/B/DT Remote Control Car a Voltage Blast. It works almost like a defibrillator on a heart shocking the battery back to life. This poor video quality comes from the front facing camera on an iPad 2

GP PB65 Charging Device
GP PB65 Charging DeviceThe GP Power Bank 65 charging device uses an AC adapter to connect to the mains supply. The device can charge up to 4 nickel metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries, sizes AA and AAA. Charge time ranges from 1 hour 30 minutes to 45 minutes depending on the battery’s capacity.The device is controlled by a custom microprocessor. It has 4 independent charging channels. The charging rate is 2 A for AA batteries and 1.1 A for AAA batteries. Each channel terminates charging independently. The point of charging termination is determined by the following methods: negative voltage drop, temperature control, safety timer, battery overheating protection or by damaged and alkaline battery detection circuitry. Additional boost turns on after the primary charging has finished. The device has convenient LED and n-character display indicators as well as a digital clock. Safety is guaranteed.Connect the adapter to the charging device and plug it in. A green LED will turn on.Open the lid of the battery compartment and insert batteries observing the polarity. If charging is in process the charging indicator and the battery symbols will be slowly blinking. If damaged or alkaline batteries were by mistake inserted into the device you will see a quickly blinking error symbol. In this case charging will not occur. When the batteries are be fully charged they will switch to the additional boost mode. The battery symbols corresponding to the slots will disappear. The …

Blade 400 3D Remote Control Micro Helicopter RTF EFLH1400
Training flights of the Blade 400 3D RTF helicopter. Not much to see, but it is very stable. The Heli itself is nowhere near the quality of a Trex but then again a TREX needs all the extra bits to complete plus a lot of knowledge and time to assemble. Also it works out that even a basic TREX will cost double what one of these does. The Frame of the Heli is a little too plastic and a one piece affair but apears to be of reasonable quality. We have three of these flying at our club and the owners seem happy enough, especially when set up by our heli Guru. The E-Flite Blade 400 3D is designed to give intermediate to advanced RC helicopter pilots a ready-to-fly experience like no other. It comes 100% factory built and flight tested so you can get flying right away. There is nothing left to assemble or set up. The E-Flite Blade 400 3D radio control helicopter is ready for hovering and 3D aerobatics as soon as you finish charging the battery. And you can fly it just about anywhere, anytime thanks to the included Spektrum 2.4GHz DX6i radio system that avoids interference with other RC users, even those on other 2.4GHz systems.
