Status: offline 		I should know more about this subject and I'm not very clear on it so can someone please fill me in, OK I have aTriton charger and 75% of my battery's that I use are 4.8v Nickel Metal Hydride. now I have some that are 2100 mh, some are 1400 mh, some are 1800, 2200, 2800 mh so you get my drift, now the way I charge them is and lets use the 2200mh for an example, I go to the Nickel metal hydride and since the battery is a 2200 i charge it at 2.2 and if its 1400 I charge this one at 1.4 so is this rule of thumb correct, and my next question is I bought on accident a 1600 6v battery but i went ahead and put a regulator on the battery and I liked that extra ummmpff it gave my servos so what I want to know is do you charge them the same way even though its a different volt battery, Sorry for being so stupid about this I should know this stuff..
Thanks
Randy

I prefer using the Triton's program that cycles batteries (customized memory area), as it will save/give you more information on the resulting charge or discharge.
