Hey fellow cubbers....
Iam planning on purchasing the Elite 1500's from cheap batteries.com....However....Do I need to purchase a different charger? or can I use the wall charger that comes with the super cub?
I couldn't find anything on that particular matter.....Thanks for the help or link that I might have missed....

7-cell > no problem, just takes longer.
8-cell > wall wart will 'not quite' do it-it'll time out. DC charger will not function.
Realistically, new charger required.
Don't buy ParkZone.

oh.. okay thanks guys....much appreciated!!! I will look into the "turnigy"....Though lately I must say I have been enjoying my 7cells more so than my 8cells....I find the 8's definitely have more power initially...however, I seem to get more flight time with my 7cells...don't need the extra speed to get inverted when your pushing up on your elevator stick  If I do the Lipo thing...I think it will be with my new plane...maybe the Trojan or something else along those lines.... Thanks Again Degas |

When you add another cell you up the performance. It's like driving faster-your gas mileage goes down. With throttle management you might do a similar job but unless the 8-cell is a batter with more mAh in addition to voltage you'll likely see a small reduction in flight time.
