Default RE: Battery Questions


ORIGINAL: FatOrangeKat

Missileman, can I use the same charger that came with my radio to charge those batteries (i.e. will a Nicd charger charge Nimh)? What an amazing deal for those batteries!
I have had no problems charging NiMh with a wallwart charger but it will take alot longer.
Divide the capacity of the battery by the charge rate of your charger, should be printed on it.
That is of course starting from a nearly dead battery, if your battery is already half charged it will take half that time.
At some point you will want a better charger but all in good time.
