Default RE: picking a std mv or temp. for nimh

Yes, I was talking subc nimh. Very interesting what you say about 1 cell vs. 4 or more I wonder why that is. I have very little experience with testing and matching cells, but the experience I do have uses similar specs as you say. I think I used 2.4 amp charge and then whatever discharge the triton wouild go to.

This method gave me repeatable results, but under real world amp draw would always show the same cells getting hot, telling me that I need to discharge much higher amps when testing/matching. I've decided to get a CBA, but have yet to decide on a routine for chargeing and finding the "full mark"

From what you're saying it seems best to whatch the cell (I have an idea what it should be) and then use about 120. Thanks for the info, very informative.

Anyone else have any to add?
