well it depends upon your charger, i believe that most charge at 100 mah an hour, hence 11 hours in your case

yea just do 1100 divied by the amount of mah ur charging at

speedygonzales

the back of my charger says
"input: 120V AC 60Hz 4W"
"output: 6V DC 120 mA"
help with that?

Charge for 9-10 hrs. If it isn't all the way dead you can go a little shorter. Li batteries last a bit longer (their life that is, not a single charge) if they are never run ALL THE WAY DEAD.

cardriverx

that means its puttin out 120 mah so it will take 9.2 hours to charge

That is assuming the cell is FULLY dead btw...

cardriverx

well yea so like 8 and a half

just keep an eye on the battery, if it starts to become hott, that means its fully charged, and you can take it off.

ok so 9-10 hours if it is dead but i want the initial charge.

If it's a brand new battery assume that it's a dead as it should ever be. Go for the the full charge, roughly 9 hours.

speedygonzales

thank you all for the help.
so 9 hours for initial charge. and to charge when the battery dies agian 9 hours.
i thought initail charge is allways more than the normal charge.

if you want a good CHEAP charge that is foolproof pick up the reciever pack charger& power supply from a revo.I got mine with a battery pack brand new out of the box for $17 dollars on ebay!!! just plug it in & when the light stops flashing your done in about an hour or so total.

What is a decent charger, that monitors and stops a charge when it is done, that can also charge different types of packs. like a hump pack, and the one for the RotoStart, and gloplug. Not real expensive also, like around 60-70 or less...
