Default RE: Battery question


ORIGINAL: gregoryda

GaRCfield, just curious, you multiply the battery pack mA rating x 1.4 (where does the 1.4 come from or is it some kind of a factor)? Just trying to understand all of this battery charging stuff.
reason is charging batteries is not 100% efficient but I don't use 1.4 myself. I charge a couple of hours over what math says (or longer)or use a peak detect charger.
