How do you know how long you need to charge a battery for?
assuming you know the how many amps you are putting in.
is there a way of working out how long you need to charge for.
if this has already been asked please point me to were.
thanks
you could check its amps.. or maybe the mah in the battery.
you would need a gauge or light bulbs or some kind of thing,
to tell you.
most chargers have peak detection.
some older chargers don't.
some newer chargers with peak detection aren't
very accurate.
that is when it is always good to have a meter.
you should buy the temp gauge thats in
the "useful tool" thread..
its a temperature gauge that makes sure you don't overheat your batteries.
check the amps of what ? the battery ? it doesn't tell you it's done charging.
Light build is very inaccurate way . they are only meant for discharging quickly to put it on the charger.
and most all peak detection on charger are VERY accurate due to thew fact of the ristance is getting more and more.
the Super brain's how ever false peak A LOT . that is a charger that isn't very good.
