Power Green Battery Testing Results!


  • The main purpose of this data was to determine how the new Power Green batteries I was testing would compare to the 150 mAh NiCd batteries.


  • The testing was conducted inside on a 28' Fat Track Oval.


  • Cars that were used were two reliable runners from my collection:


    • Test Car 1

    Yellow 1970 Angelino M-70


    Test Car 1

    Olive 1970 Angelino M-70

    Both car bodies have above average wear. The chassis/motors are real nice with all original electrical contacts present.

  • Chargers used for this test were:


    • 1970 Power Pit (Black)
    1971 Power Pit (Orange)

  • The chargers were swapped between charges to ensure even charging between cars.

    IMPORTANT: Please read Testing Bias Factors before continuing!

  • Results: After roughly one hour of track time using Power Pit Chargers, I did not notice any drop-off of performance in these batteries. With a normal 90-second charge, these batteries compared favorably to the 150mAh NiCd. Breakdown and observations listed below.


    BREAKDOWN:

    Total charges per car: 20

    Total Car running time:

    Yellow: 50 min. 38 sec.
    Olive 92 min. 35 sec

    Average time per charge:

    Yellow: 2 min. 30 sec.
    Olive: 4 min. 36 sec.


    OBSERVATIONS:

    These batteries increased in running time after a few charges. This is consistent with their Ni-Cd counterparts. This test was mainly conducted to make sure that these batteries would perform consistently over time. They did, with no adverse effects using antique chargers.
