PutnamEco Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 If you were given the choice over having quick charging batteries or batteries that have a long service life which would you choose?An example,Charges in 30 minutes, battery lasts one yearCharges in 2 hours, lasts 3 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Maybe 1 hour = 2 years? I don't mind an hour charge cycle to bad but I think 2 hours would be a bit annoying. My Red Lithium XC's are about a year and a half old and I hardly notice a difference in the them versus when they were new. A little bit maybe, but nothing big. The 30 minute cycle seems a little quick though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I'd like to see the manufacturers offer a battery program. You could pay a flat fee at purchase or upon return or something like that and change out batteries every so often. They could rebuild them upon exchange and keep the rebuilt batteries cycling through the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
