ok thanks i wasnt sure if it would recognize a full charge with that setting that says 5000 maH max cutoff. Also I will check but I dont see where you can change from manual to auto charge but i will look again. It was set to manual and i was charging at 1.8 amps on the 1500 maH battery guess it was good that I didnt really let it charge. You tube vids are saying you can charge a nimh at 3 amps. also anyone know about trying to charge a 7 cell battery with this charger?
