Status: offline 		I'll jump in with the Triton also, took a couple of hours to figure it out, the only thing that I needed to get used to is accessing the data screen. Great charger, lots of user controls if you need it. Let me know if anyone wants to sell theirs

Status: offline 		How do you access the data screen? I tried to do it the last time I charged my batteries with no success. Also, is it okay to use the Triton to form charge a battery? Thanks!

Red what would be the general cutoff voltage for NiMh cells. Is it the same as nicad?


Yes, same as for Ni-Cds 0.9 volts/cell is the recommended value.

Status: offline 		Red...how long should it take for my new 700mah nimh batteries to get anywhere near the rated 700mah out put?? the best it will do is 426mah @3.0 amp discharge on the Victor Hi-IQ. I bought a 7 & 8 cell 700 mah AAA nimh packs at the LHS and so far I don't see enough umph out of either pack to fly the Formosa...what's a fellow to do...I have some li-poly packs coming in but I sure was thinking these nima packs should do better than they are. Both packs were babied for the first 3 cycles but so far ..not good...can you shed some wisdom on me Red??

3 amp discharge is way to high to get the rated capacity. The maufacture rates these at the C/5 discharge rate. Try that (140 mA) and see what you get.

Status: offline 		Has anyone come out with a table or something like the first post suggested. I have some 600 mah Ni-cad batteries 4 cell that I want to use this charger with. I want to know out in the field what my settings should be for charge. What my settings should be for the charge/discharge cycles, and if I want to slow charge the batteries should I just use the wall wart or the Triton with what settings. I am also going to buy some 1000mah Ni-cad 4 cells, should I set up the charger any differently?
