Cheers Confused.com The only real way to find out what is going on is you need to buy yourself a watt meter, this will tell you exactly how many ah you are putting into the batterys when you are charging them and will also be able to give you the information about each bike i.e max current pulled , ah pulled, running voltage,min running voltage and max watts pulled this information will help find out what is going on . You can get a watt meter from Hobbyking http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__10080__Turnigy_130A_Watt_Meter_and_Power_Analyzer.html giantshark http://www.giantshark.co.uk/power-130a-watt-meter-power-analyser-p-406644.html ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Turnigy-130A-Watt-Meter-and-Power-Analyzer-in-stock-from-UK-with-fast-dispatch-/281106316902?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item41733dfe66 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-RC-130A-LCD-High-Precision-battery-Watt-Meter-Power-Analyzer-voltage-tester-/130832402277?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item1e76380765 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abe75 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Brilliant thank you, need get involved on this a bit more me thinks. Lol do Hobby king do membership! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwhy Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 If you are in the uk then I would get one from giantshark.. Hobbyking do membership but try to get the items you order from the warehouse nearest where you are ( this can save a fair bit on postage and time..) You only need 1 meter if plugs are fitted the meter can be transferred from bike to bike very easy and also be used on your charger..

abe75 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Brillaint, will order some bits today, as i am just starting out do u think i need anything else while?

gwhy Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) If your ordering a meter then get your self some plugs also, the 4mm shrouded types are pretty good and very common in the rc world.. get more plugs than you THINK you need as there is nothing more anyoning than being 1 plug short ( dont ask me how I know ) these http://www.hobbyking...10pcs_set_.html these are also a good plug and socket http://www.hobbyking...ag_GENUINE.html and these http://www.hobbyking...ag_GENUINE.html These do not always come in pairs so you need to make sure you buy the males and females. .. Yes I have some very old pictures of the bikes when they were in development.. I will try and dig them out..

gwhy Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Just thinking about how many plugs/sockets you will need to be able to switch the meter over to 2 bikes and also use it on the charger to get the actual Ah needed to recharge battery to full .. I think it works out 4 pairs at least.. a pair on the meter a pair on each bike and a pair on the charger leads.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abe75 Posted July 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) Seriously I want one!!

Andy Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Going to break my own no selling rules here, but it's my site so I have one of those Turnigy meters that I bought to monitor output/load from a 12v solar panel, but the solar controller does all that so I have no need of it. Brand new, never been used. £15 + £2 P&P. If anybody's thinking of buying one of these, good opportunity to save a few quid. PM me if interested. First come, first served.
