Hi Colstonman!

I don't think so. My Schulze charger says it'scharging my 7 cell NiMh packs at around 5 amps toward the end of the cycle (automatic cycle). I can tell it to charge at a higher rate, but I trust the logic of the charger and let it be. It packs them out at about 2900 MaH in 30 minutes. Oh, and they are warm, but if you lay one on the side of your face, you won't end up with a Harley Davidson tailpipe burn!!

I've heard many times that the nature of the NiMh packs is to have increased capacity after a few cycles. Those wall wart chargers are not much more than a trickle charger. I got one with my new Minolta camera ... It took 8 hours to charge 4 AA cells for crying out loud! Needless to say, I got a real charger for the camera too.

Off to do some hovering,

Happy choptering,

Russ
