Guys i have the sirius pro plus & love it too but just a word of caution when charging NIMH batteries (especially large capacity). After a winter season i was charging my plane (2-2700mah NIMH batteires for the RCR) and the lights were blinking after about 20 minutes of charge. Good to Go!?

I was in the process of changing control setups and this took some time. i noticed my controls doing some funky things....very strange. To the point....all of a sudden i did not have any control movement. Battries were dead. Why? How could this be?

Well with NIMH (and NICADS too)the charger the charger shuts down the charge when the first cell reaches it's delta peak (conservative and safe operation) and then shows the full charge complete.
Large NIMH batteries especially have this problem but now they have balanced cells so???? I had one heck of a time trying to get these battries charged....even with repeated plugging & starting over.

At any rate with large NIMH cells be sure you discharge to verify your freshly charged capacity.....do not simply rely on blinking lighs....do this at the start of the season and your large NIMH's will be good until next year-so verify at least once.
