Default RE: 4.8 NIMH battery


ORIGINAL: lcgj

I have some questions with charging a 6V 2500 mah JR rx pack with a Triton charger. So started charging it at .5 mah and the volts got up over 7.0 and about 1700 mah so I stopped it , the battery was not HOT.
.5 mah? Are you sure you do not mean 500mah or 1/2 Ah? .5mah sounds very very low for any battery since most nicads and nimh charge at 1/10C or 250 ma. (for a 2500mah pack) for normal charging. Fast charging would be differnt but they would need to be monitored to make sure they did not overheat during charging.
