:ö: This is a common question for those who uses charger that don't have peak charge detection system or using a timed charger, here is what i used (before, when i don't have a peak charger;) ) to calculate
how long will it take for my battery to charge, depending on the output of my charger and the Mah of my batteries, without overcharging or undercharging it that may harm our precious rechargable batteries..

:ö: ei!, no problem man!;), just like to share some info that i wish i've experienced when i discovered the world of radio controled cars.

about the PCPS, it's not just that it sounds cool :) , but if you want to be different from the others, then go for it!, because the first time i brought my PCPS with me at the race track, all the guys there envy me and all of them want one! :cool:, imagine that they have to bring a power supply at the pit area to power their electronic equipment such as charger, fan, etal.. that weigh twice the weight of their six year old son! :D, and a factory released switchting power supply cost sky high compared to PCPS ;).

Arch,

i just remembered... "Duratrax" has a Compact Switching Power Supply (same size as the Nokia cellphone charger) it functions as the PCPS, and produces a clean, smooth 12V DC, 7amps of power :)
