Status: offline 		I was reading somewhere before on here that you should charge NiMH packs all night for their first charge. Do you use a regular old wall charger that you use to charge your planes with? I have two new packs that I want to get going. I have two other packs that I have been using but I didn't slow charge before using them. One of them doesn't have the power the other one does for some reason. Should I charge these up over night as well?..........John

Status: offline 		What do you mean by C/10? Do you mean 10% of the mah rating of the pack?........................John
