therefore(theoretically) it would take 10 hours to charge an 1800mah pack with 180mA?
In a perfect world, yes. But there are gross inefficiencies, that's why people say charge at C/10 for 14 to 16 hours (i.e., that's a 40% - 60% loss).
Unfortunately, most wall warts are not very elite units
Is the Sirius Pro Former an "elite" unit? I'm thinking of ordering one (it's not the price that's bothering me; it's the price and hassle of shipping to the Philippines -- Well, that's why, if it's worth it, I'll go order two).
may be as simple as a half wave rectifier. Most are simple full wave rectifiers with no filtering so put out a pulsing DC voltage
What kind is the Sirius Pro Former?
The first time I check every hour the current and voltage until done, that it did not over charge by exceeding Vpk and that battery or wall charger did not get to warm.
Do I have to do all of these testing stuff with the Sirius Pro Former, or can you guys just flat out recommend that Pro Former?
Bah! Engineers! I knew yous guys were good for something! Ha ha!
Cheers, fellas!
