Default RE: cooked battery

I dont have a wallwart! The Spektrum only comes with a TX charger.
I was hoping to use the field charger at its lowest setting?
It goes a little below the 0.2 so maybe 0.15 - 0.2 amps. Is this low enough for a first charge?

C/10 of the 1700 pack would be 170 mAh, would that be 0.17 amps? if so I'm in the ballpark..


Also can I cycle the batteries with a couple of light bulbs in series?? Just run it down. for now.

I would do this a couple of times with the new battery.


Would it be correct to say I have to charge a 1700 pack at 170mAh (or 0.17amps) for 10 hours?
