Very basic battery information needed.
I purchased a Supernova 250S charger for Ni-Cad and Ni-MH batteries. I know almost next to nothing about batteries. I am sitting here with an eight pack (8 AA Ni-MH batteries, each has a rating of 2100mAh on it.)
The xcharging instructions give a sample of a battery pack of 3000mAh that is composed of 9 cells. Now does the sample mean that the 9 cells equal a pack rating of 3000 mAh or is easch battery 3000 mAh for a total pack value of 27000 mAh?
Back to what I don't know, which is almost everything. Are my 8 AA batteries, each rated at 2100 mAh, is the pack rate then 16800 mAh or is my pack rate 2100 mAh? The charger instructions state that the charge rate should be 1/10 the pack rate.
What MA should this paxck be charged at? And can someone tell me how this works-math wise? I sure would appreciate the help. Also, what voltage should they be charged at and what voltage should be used to discharge?
Thank again. Confused..
