8.4V Tenergy 5000mAh Flat NiMH Battery Pack with Traxxas Connector

After hearing a lot of bad comments about Venom battery packs I decided to try this Tenergy pack out.

It's hard to tell in the picture, but the pack is fully sealed. From the image, it looked to me like the bottom cell was exposed, but the bottom cell is sealed on the packs I received.

I've run each of the 2 packs I purchased 3 times now and am getting good results. On my stock Traxxas Slash I get around 30 minutes of run time, and good power and speed.

I purchased a Piranha Digital Peak Charger NiCd/NiMH DTXP4005 and that charger shows the measured capacity of the battery. It's a very nice charger that's just a bit more then the Twin Peak Charger that Amazon typically recommends, but the information and memory settings for up to 10 different batteries makes it worth it.

bought 2 packs for my e-maxx r/c truck after three charge cycles by me they would only last approx. 5- minutes in my truck before dying. took packs to a battery store and had them tested,would only take a 75% charge. company repleced packs with no questions asked,impressed with that,haven't had a chance to try the new packs yet, will send a up date soon as to whether the replacements are ok!!!

Got this pack for my sons 2WD Slash. Definitely works better then the included battery at a lower cost. Not seeing 5000mAh though but I forgot to do the usual forming charge that are recommended for new NiMH packs. Will try that on the next two and see if that makes a difference.
