NiMH charger problem... Not charging right.
Hello everyone.
I'm pretty sure I have a problem with my charger, or something. I fly both helicopters and airplanes. The charger I use is a Piranha Digital Peak Charger. I'm going to talk about the problem I'm having with my helicopter, just to keep it simple. My helicopter is a Raptor 30, and I'm using a 2700Mah NiMH battery.
To charger my battery, I use the following setting's for my charger:
2700 mah
0.6A (600 mh)
Peak 8mV/C (I don't even really know what this is)
and a trinkle of 200 ma.
After my battery is fully charged, it says that it only put in, or charged around 200 to 400 MAH, weather the battery was dead or not... Then when I fly, my volt meter says it is fully charged, but after 15 minutes of flying, its saying low battery.
any suggestions would be great. I know its not the battery, because it does the same thing with any other battery I use too (I have several 2500 mah NiMH batteries).
Thanks lots in advance
Carlyle
