Battery Question
Hello,
I have a question concerning a replacement battery for a radio that I just replaced. I replaced a battery for a futaba conquest radio, and the old batteries charge rate was for 15 hours. The new battery is almost Identical, my question is for a new battery, what is the best way to charge it? Should i charge it for the 15 hours, then let it run out, and recharge again to set memory? Would it harm the batery if I unplugged it before work, and only let it charge for 13 hours? Or, can I let it charge thoughout the day and unplug it after work tomorrow..which would be almost 24 hours of charge time? I did turn on the transmitter after installing the new battery, and it had a slight charge on it and ran out almost after 10 minutes. It is a ni-cad 600mah i believe.
Thanks for your help!
