and you could use this charger as a direct fit for your battery (one more cell wont matter as these chargers spew out about 7-8 volts anyway , charge time may be increased but if anything your batts wil last longer) , and you get a nice little 4.6 V nicad pack , and its not too expensive .

[JimBeeden]

would the first be good for a spinner?

[peterwaller]

I would say the capacity of this size of cell would be a bit low for a spinner. I use 250mAH LiPo cells on mine but it does depend on how powerful the spinner motor is. If the spinner motor is drawing 5 Amps which many of them do under load conditions then a 250mAH battery would last for 3 minutes. Many spinner fights are over in a few seconds but they can last longer and you don't always get time to recharge between fights.

as a rule i wouldnt use anything but lipo's for a spinner as the motors just wont get the juice they need , of course this is subjective but within the 150g weight limit there arent many if any suitable nicads of nimhs for a spinner.

[Andrew_Hibberd]

There are loads of nimh and nicads out there that can be used on spinners, lipos were only just starting to be used when i started at aws14.

i didnt ask , is it a brushed or a a brushless motor you are using in your spinner ?
