Status: offline 		I have the Futaba 9CAP and all the servoes, rx, batt, and charger that came with it. I just bought a 2700 NiMH battery. The charger is the generic Futaba wall charger that comes with the radio setup and says only to charge NiCad type batteries. It seems to charge the NiMH but once I started charging it for the first time I got curious and read the wall charger which states to only use on NiCad type batteries. A few fellas at the club say they do it all the time. Please let me know your thoughts on this I am just saving for a peak charger so I dont have one yet. Also I plan to buy the Super Nova from FMA any thoughts on that charger? thanks.

Status: offline 		3DFANATIC, when you say stock nicads, I assume your talking about the 500-600 mAh packs that come standard with a new radio system.

The difference here is the capacity of the pack in question. It's not the chemistry, it's the size (capacity).
