Trakpower charger
 
Hi guys just a couple of questions

first one i have a trakpower 3600 battery and charger the charger is set at 3.5 amps but the power supply says it is only drawing 2.5 amps :eh?:
and it seems to take awhile to charge

second one is anybody having problems with connectors coming out i replaced all the connectors on the speedo and they seem slack when pushing them into the battery and acouple of times they've come out during a race :(

I found that even though they are called corally connectors, if they are not the official corally's then they tend to be loose, as I had the same problem....

I am now using the Top racing ones, which are a nice 'snug' fit, without being overly tight :)

You can get em here:

I think you have the same power supply as me, assuming it is the Pro-Peak.

Paul you're pulling 2.5A @ 13.8V = 34.5W out of the charger and putting into the cells 3.5A @ 8.4V = 29.4W. So the charger is pretty efficient only wasting 5W.

Think that's right ;)
