[QUOTE="InSaneFisherMan, post: 482441, member: 26281"] All the previous post seem spot on. Seems like all your testing of the batteries are good, a few thoughts on the battery gauge. I think it is volt meter with a built in calculator for displaying percent of charge. When using a volt meter to calculate percent of charge, the battery must be resting, basically not being used. Otherwise you will see a drop in % because of the load put on the battery. I suspect the gauge you have is the same. I could not tell from the original post if you were using the motors when getting the drops in %. If you were using the motors, those readings (%) are probably incorrect. When you test your motors, I would only pay attention to the %, when motors are off. [/QUOTE]
