Hi everyone, I bought the iMax B6 charger and it just arrived, I plugged my battery in for charge and after the charger filled up 200 mah of juice the charger said that the battery is full and I was confused because the last time I used that battery, which was yesterday the battery was dead, I mean the car went very slow and lost power so yesterday I thought the battery was dead. But today I found out that the battery wasn't actually dead thanks to the charger. I took the car for another run today and the car lost power after 5 minutes of runtime and my battery only lost 200 mah again, its like I can only use 200 mah of my 3000 mah battery, I am suspicious that the car has something wrong with it because I get the same behavior with all my nimh batteries. It's like I can use my car full power for the first 200-300 mah. After it dies the ESC starts flashing a red light which indicates low battery according to the manual but the battery isn't low. What can be the problem? After I recharge the battery It again runs full power for 200-300 mah so I can't drive my car longer than 5-6 minutes. Nothing overheats, nothing feels hot to the touch as far as I can see.
