Hello, I'm brand new to this RC flying thing. Just purchased a used Easystar and discovered the 6 cell 7.2v NiCad batteries, even after cycling several times, will only give me about 3.5 minutes at full throttle. Now I suppose new battery packs are in order but I'm uncertain in which direction I should head. I have an older AstroFlight charger that will only do NiCads and the Hitec charger that came with the Easystar that will only do NiCads. So, do I buy a few inexpensive NiCad packs to get me off the ground and use my current chargers or do I go for NiMh packs and purchase a NiMh charger or go all the way with LiPo and a LiPo charger?
