<div>I just ordered one of these <A href="http://www.hughesrc.com/">http://www.hughesrc.com/</A> to be here tommorrow since I just screwed up and cooked my Ace Smart charger and a receiver.

No problems when charging Tx size battery packs. I just rest the charger 2 or 3 times and eventually it fully charges. Is a pain in the neck. I don't fast charge the batteries. I normally will charge at .3 mah rate and .5
as a fast charge do format the batteries before put into service, cycled at least 10 times. Seems to me like a charger problem since I have tried other Triton chargers at my local field getting a full charge from the get go.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ken</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=fhhuber@clearwire.net href="mailto:fhhuber@clearwire.net">Fred Huber</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA Mailing List</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Wednesday, January 03, 2007 10:05 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt
