Status: offline 		Ok, Im old school and used to using the old timer chargers. Today I went out and bought a Piranha Peak Digital charger. I'm really not sure how to use it effectively even after reading the instructions.

What I have are as follows for batteries:
2 1900 mah Piranha's, 1 3000mah NiMh, and 1 matched "Pro Match" 3300.

I know the obvious things like selecting between NiCd and NiMh, but the things Im wondering is selecting the charge current, peak sensitivity, etc. Any yhelp would be very appreciative.

Dave

For nicads use 10 mv per cell and for nimh use 5 mv per cell.
