Default RE: Basic Charging Info Needed

>>I am using the provided wall unit until I get a cycler, it has 50ma output for
both Tx and Rx. The batteries say right on the pack to charge at 60ma for 15
hours, but is this from a completely discharged state?<<

Yes they would be from discharged state and until you get a cycler your method is great.

>>Also, I have a 12v 7.2ma lead acid battery, at what voltage reading should I
recharge It? My charger is 600ma. <<

Lead acids last the longest if kept fully charged and discharged as little as possible. Don't wait until you have used it 5 times, recharge every time you use it. The deeper it is cycled the lower the number of cycles you will get out of it.
