Slow at start up

[gsouser]

Gen 1 w nickel batteries that when first starting it will hardly move. After a bit it will slowly get better then turn smiley and run a lot better. Any idea what would cause this?

Are you going downhill, and just unplugged it?

The batteries almost 2 years old from MTO with daily usage. Might be towards the end of life span and the combo of the colder weather. What is the ideal temp range for gliding?

try it without a fresh charge it might be making sure you cant put too much power back into it by limiting the energy= speed you can build upit might generate more heat than it knows it could dissipate if you did a hard stop

Perhaps if you answered this question?

Just unplug and slightly uphill

Still could be what rotorblades suggested.

Try this: After a glide, just turn it off but do not plug it in. Wait a while (or until the next day) and then start it up and let us know if it still has the same problem.

Call MTO Battery.

Their advice regarding batteries is as good as it gets.

I would not anticipate any adverse effect for colder weather in Dallas.

Ideal temperature range for gliding is "above freezing".
