G226 -> Superbrain 960 not charging / false peak? (3/23/2008 2:35:18 PM)
|
Hello,
Just recently purchased a Superbrain 960 and a 1200MAH 9.6v 8cell NiMH battery. Tried charing the battery on auto detect (Default just pressing the red start button)
It will test the battery, charge for about 10 seconds then beep three times as if it's done charging and the battery is full then go to a 0.1amp trickle charge.
I've read around and learned it can false peak so I read up on how to set it manually. I set the charger to 1.5amps and 40mv then pressed start. But no luck, it does the same thing and tests the battery, charges for 10 seconds then beeps three times.
The battery is new and doesn't even get hot (It's definatly not charged, it lasts only a couple seconds and makes the motor sound like its slowly dying or has almost no juice left when connected)
I tried a normal 800mah 8.4v NiMH battery that was discharged that I've been using for awhile just fine with a simple wall trickle charger but to no avail, it does the same as above.
Is something wrong with my charger? Or am I missing something.
Thanks.
