Status: offline 		I just got batterys for my transmitter and a 5 cell pack for my reciever. I have a Duratrax intellipeak charger and plan to charge the batterys at the recomended rate of 100ma. My charger only adjusts down to .5 Amps so I can only trickle charge them.

The question is how can I test the batterys to see if they are charged? After charging the 1100ma rx pack for 12 hours, I tested it and found the voltage higher than 1.2 volts per cell. Is there a certain voltage I should be trying to get to?

Thanks for the help!!!
