Default RE: Tech formulas for charging


ORIGINAL: ob1n

It is currently running at approx. 520mA....therefore, I am correct to believe that if it reaches 600mA(the max capacity of the charger) that it is done?!?!!! Of course, I'll be closely monitoring the temp....but would this be a good indication? Thanks for your time, fellas. Laters.

NO NO ! Current and charge have no relation wall chargers will constantly output current until you pick little pieces off the walls[X(] if you excede C/10 and leave to long on charger. So your in the no sleep mode if you use this charger. Plot the voltage of the battery at C/2 you will see the delta peak at about 6*1.45 = 8.7 volts look at all the grafts out thier in cyber world, you must watch your battery period... you are over charging it with this wall charger to leave alone for 10 hrs ,, this is not a form charge. Guessing if dead to begin with and a good battery it's as said 2.5 hrs start to peak and get warmer and warmer...
