Status: offline 		Hi! I would like to know when to charge the batteries. I use rechargables both for my Tx and Rx. I use NiMH batteries, I would charge them everytime after I use them, but that is too time consuming and im afraid charging the battereis before they're used up will harm my battery. Is this true? and when do i havfe to recharge my batteries?

I just happen to have a hanger 9 perfect peak charger with power supply, it has a set of leads that you can plug into the power panel of your field box or into the power supply for charging @ home. The mah capacity of your battery will determine how long it will take to fast charge them, the charger can charge your tx & rx @ the same time, it has a red light to show it is charging & a green light for when charge is complete. Overcharging nimh batteries can destroy them, that is why a good peak detection charger is necessary with nimh batteries.
Let me know if you are interested, $40 shipped
