Status: offline 		I'm buying my 5 yr. old grandson his first R/C: a Nikko truck. (He has to start somewhere). Those cheap 4 hour chargers that come with it are a joke. Will my MRC 959 charge those Nikko 9.6 eight cell battery packs? I'm pretty sure it will, but I haven't read any postings on it. Last question: what should the charge settings be at?
Any help would sure give a little 5 year old kid a better Christmas. Thanks!

Yes, it will do the job. You'd have to post the specific battery, but most nicads use 8-10 mv per cell for the threshold and the rate can be set to the battery capacity probably.

Status: offline 		It should work with no problem, like guver said, just let us know capacity and whether it's a NiCd or a NiMH and we'll give you the proper settings. You could probably just let him hit the start button, but I would rather know the size battery before I tell you to do that.

Status: offline 		Well, the Nikko Jeep for my grandson is a 9.6 volt, with eight AA cells in the pack. Rechargable of course. The pack from the factory is rated at 700 MaH, but I've bought a couple aftermarket packs of 2300 MaH. Should give him a lot more run time and a little more power.
What do you think? 3 amp charge on my Superbrain 959?
Thanks for the help!

Status: offline 		The 750 mah pack I would charge at no higher than 1.5 amps, and the 2300 mah at no higher than 3.5 amps, but just hitting the start button on this one would be fine. I would charge them both on the wall charger first, and the use the 959 on subsequent charges.
