ForkliftJeff -> Will a NiCad charger charge my NiMh batt? (4/23/2008 5:05:09 AM)

Just wondering if my NiCad 15 min charger (with amp adjust) will charge my NiMh receiver battery pack? (I'm sick of the 16 hour wall charger) I bought the adapter to hook it up at the LHS and the guy told me to charge at 1 amp and I should be fine, but then I got home and realized its just a NiCad charger.

Yes, the charger or battery will not know the difference.

Awesome thanks. What's full charge on a 6V NiMh pack? Is it actually 6V or more like 6.2 or something. Just curious.

What is the voltage of a full charged pack you ask. You have a slow charger, just charge it on that for 14 to 16 hours and measure the voltage. That is the full charge voltage.

Good idea, thanks.

Just curious, If there is no difference why does my charger have a switch to select if it is a NiCad or NiMh? I hope it's not so they can charge me more.

If your charger is a peak charger there is a significant difference. Ni-Mh batteries have a much more subtle and ill defined peak than Ni-Cd. The switch on your charger probably takes this into account.
