Status: offline 		I just received a new charger for my 7.2v nimh packs. Its a universal smart charger, i got it just to prevent overcharging.

On the charger there is a switch for .9a or 1.8a, my question is; does this make it charge faster at 1.8a? if so will i get a longer battery life if i leave it at .9a? or does this have nothing to do with charging speed?

Sorry for what might be a dumb question but i'd rather be safe than sorry.

Status: offline 		It will charge faster at 1.8A. Which setting you use should be determined by the capacity of your battery pack. If your pack has a capacity of 1800 mAh or greater, you won't see a significant difference in battery life charging at 1.8A.
