Default using a field charger

I just purchased a dynmite prophet plus AC/DC 4-7 cell prediction charger for ni-cd & ni-mh battery packs. I have a few questions:

1) how low is to low to fly, voltage (futaba 7c tx & rx) 4v battery in rx

2) how long should charging take (at the field, 12v car battery) the rx to charge @ 1, 2 or 4 amp rate? understanding it depends on how low the battery is before charging.

3) what amp rate is better for the life of my battery?

4) with peak prediction circuitry, should I charge battery pack with the prophet charger at home or use the futaba home charger?

5) the charger didn't come with an adapter for the tx, I have ordered it, but I heard from LHS owner that tx charging didn't do as well with the charger, is this true?, should I not charge the tx with anything but the futaba wall charger?

6) what volt reading should full charge on the rx and tx be?

7) what is the difference in running a 4v battery vs a 6v battery? can you use either with the futaba rx flight pack?


I know there are a lot of questions for one post, please answer the ones you feel comfortable answering.



thanks in advance!!!
