I'll take $75.00 shipped for the pair. If you are interested I can send pictures with voltage readings. They are like these linked below but mine are 5200mah.

    Below are photos of my batteries with resistance numbers and cell voltage as we discussed by PM. The manufactured date is on inside of the box lid as well (10-16-17). They have been in storage mode for about a month. Also as we discussed 90c discharge packs will not damage your boat. Most people run at least 50c and higher packs. Lower C-rated packs will won't hold voltage under load as well and they will overheat under heavy amp draw leading to failure.

    Jim above has a good economy model that would work....

    Unless you want to spend a lot of money on a power supplies and top of the line charger...The Hitec x4 would fit your needs as a decent entry level charger. It's not the fastest charger while charging 4-3cell and above packs but it will charge 4 packs at one time. Some like a charger that charges 2 packs, but it's capable of charging those two packs at higher amps and faster overall charging (if they need them charged really quick). Below is a link to the hitec x4

    After checking out this charger, I'm guessing that I will need to purchase more connectors in order to charge 4 at once. It comes with a bunch of different connectors, but only one of each. Which connector type would I need?

    Its cheaper to buy it at Tower Hobbies and use promo code 011V3 to get $20.00 off your order if you want to go that route. Below is what you will need.

    that's the one that I tried and it didn't work

    is it a letter o, or number zero?


    EDIT:NEVERMIND. I think I just had to register first.

    mission accomplished. I have everything ordered, except the boat.

    4 new smc batteries (received)
    2 used batteries from MADRCER (received)
    2 PROPS from dashboata(received)
    2 flex cables from kfxguy(received)
    battery charger and accessory cables from tower hobbies(received)
    connectors from grayson hobby(received)

    when all that gets here, then I will go to my local hobbytown to order the boat.


    hope I got everything I need
