Default Batteries shot?

Well guys the other day I decided to mess around with my F150 and G35 but I had a slight problem. The batteries were fully charged, I put them in the G35 it didnt run full power and then it died in about a minute or so, so I tried recharging same thing happened.

So then I got another set of batteries, charged them and put them in my truck, same thing happened a minute of run time then it would die. My best guess is the batteries are somehow fried or something since theyre pretty old RS Rechargeable?

I dont think its the cars, shouldnt be they were working fine last time I used them.

If the batts have been charged soo many times they eventually lose their charge. I think thats what happened.

I am not happy with mine. I have two sets and they wont hold their charge as well as the green RS batteries do. I would say to stay away from them.

Just go on AM, and get their Ni-Mh's. Do some small mods to you battery holder to adapt the flat contact ones ($0.99!!!) and you got yourself incredibly cheap power. You can use the xmod battery charger too (with some modification)

Later,
