<DIV> I always fast charge at a 3 amp-hour rate using a Hitec 335 charger. I'm using a Kavan on 10 cells. I starts all the YS's up to a 140DZ with ease. The cells are older red-jacketed Mexican made fast charge sub-C size, now 6 years old and still holding up well. I soldered the pack and used 14ga solid copper wire hammered flat to connect the cells together. Not sure of the capacity but it is around 1500mAH.</DIV>
