I dunno what the hell is going on. I have two stock batteries. One of them has long duration (11 mins) but no power. The other has good power but short duration (3-4 mins). Both these packs used to fly well when I bought them. Now they are starting to sux

I charge these batteries with the Super Brain 959 at 1 amp with the peak threshold at 45mV.

Need some input on this one. I don't want to buy two new packs. I just bought these about two months ago. I don't plan to go to LiPO yet because I'm still learning basic flight. The last thing I need is a LipO explosion.
:arggg: :arggg: :arggg: :arggg: :arggg:

I was thing about building my own battery pack using some AAA rechargeable batteries from FRYs they have a maH of 1000. I think would it be good practice to learn how to put a battery pack together.

Go LiPo, get the stock BCPP charger and 2 batteries, you will be amazed at the difference. Make sure to change your motor/pinion to a 9 tooth also.
