Throw all that stuff away and get duralites. There is no memory, no cycling, just a user friendly system that you can't screw up.

I don't have time to mess with all these battery issues, I plug in the duralites, they turn themselves off. Period... pretty complicated huh?

Plus, they're lighter than other batteries, and (don't ask me why) a 1600 pack lasts longer than a nicad pack of similar size... I can get 7 flights on my Freya with governor/601 gyro and all digital or high torque servos....

Steve, don't even bother plugging the Alpha. In reality, the charger is basically not available. It's better to keep quiet about it and let those who have been waiting for some time have an opportunity to even get on the backlog list. Mentioning it here only turns relatively newer modelers onto it and that stinks for those who have been trying for a few years. What Alpha4 charger???
