Default RE: Battery charge puzzle


ORIGINAL: opjose
The OP asked about getting "consistent" readings, e.g. testing the battery, which lead to the higher charging rate recommendation.

Ordinarily I charge NiMH and NiCD's at about .5C or so, but to test using the cycling/historical feature of the ICE charger I always use a 1C charge.
Do you discharge at 1C too for cycling/checking the battery?
