I have received a number of e-mails about my remarks, and, about Wal-Mart
batteries...My intent was to make you aware of my experience, nothing
else..Shoot, I even have some Wal-Mart stock... (not enough though)
I have flown RC since 65 and have built and cycled batteries clear back
when we used a Taylor cycler that I had to plug a clock into to see how long
the batteries ran...I have used 3 or 4 different Smart Chargers/testers ever
since Chuck Anderson sold me one he won in the raffle at Visalia about 95 or
96.. None better as far as I'm concerned...These batteries threw me a
curve...Your mileage may vary, so do what works for you..Thanks for the
BW..Brian
It was 1995 and I won the Smart Charge the day after I bought one. I am still using the one I bought in 1995. Haven't found a need for anything else. In the flying season, the Smart Charge is mounted in my van while in the building season, I use it in my shop with the power supply I bought from George Joy. I also carry my Super Test battery tester in my van. Every month or so, I plug the airborne battery pack into the tester after flying to see how much is left. If it looks suspicious, I charge the battery and check it again. Only problem with the Super Test is that it doesn't work with my Evo. Wish I could get rid of the unneeded 5 or 8 cell test and replace them with a 6 cell test.

PS If I had been smarter, I would have kept the one I won. That way I would have had one for the van and one for the shop.
