Just got two packs of Intellect 1200mAh 2/3A 6 cell batteries in this configuration. Have no vehicle test them yet but through charge cycling, it seems to be holding a good charge.
How much current do you guys normally charge 2/3A batteries?
First pack: charge at 1.0A with charge capacity of around 1800mAh. Discharge at 10A? with a capacity of around 1200mAh
Second pack: charge at 1.1A with charge capacity of around 1550mAh. Discharge at 10A? with a capacity of around 1100mAh.
In general, charging at high current should have a lower capacity but also a higher "punch" due to higher average voltage. But how much current is a good rate for 2/3A? With SC cells I've normally done 5.0A.
