Thanks!

A Li-ion/LiPo charger is just a charger, you can connect 100x mugen battery's (which are crap by the way

) and it will still charge them, will just take a long time.

Thanks! Yes it will take for sure a long time to charge the Mugen, considering the time needed to charge the standard BL-5J battery.

Well you only charging with 350mA so charging a 2300mAh mugen will take some 6-7 hours if it is close to flat.

In contrast im testing the 1450mAh i just got from avartardeals right now, im charging with 1200mA so it won't take long.

And will post results here as usual, just hope that avartardeals stocks them as im reading about users complaining that they are out of stock.

Well the SCUD from avartardeals are the real deal (as expected after testing the 1350mAh) the 1450mAh comes in at an *predictable* 1520mAh

EDIT: Only "-" is that they are out of stock, i must say it is getting pretty tiresome to find a steady supplier.

Bit confused as to which new battery to get now....

Is eBay best source now or ?

Any thoughts about this battery I noticed on eBay?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2000mAh-Capa...#ht_5169wt_919

Or this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZH15-NEW-BL-...#ht_2687wt_882

Or this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2250mAh-Capa...#ht_2986wt_836

Thanks for your help!

Mark

NO Battery so far has shown more then 1530mAh and that is only SCUD, the 2250 is tested and showed pretty high capacity (refer to post #1), but build quality is crap and a dual battery will be hard to do.
Other 2 i cannot say, but most of the 1500+ (label) are crap as you can see in post #1.

I am in contact with avartardeals and will report back if there is any news on restock.

EDIT: and look at the feedback, especially on the 2000mAh, lots of people complaining about bad battery's and same runtime as original capacity.

from an external charger connected to the battery, details in post #1

i can even charge with 20000mA (20A) if the battery could take it, this would result in charging a SCUD in less then 5minuts.
