Hi Cappa!
Does the charger tell you the capacity (mah) of the battery inside? A 10 hour charge is a good safe slow charge, and an hour charge is the maximum rate for when you're in a hurry at the field. If it's a 1600mah battery, then I would charge it at .2 amps at home and 1.6 amps at the field.
Once it has an initial charge it should never take a full 10 hours to charge as it should never be completely dead.
Hey there, gaRCfield,
When you say 'does the charger tell me the capacity' what do you mean? When I connect it before charging, does the charger indicate the capacity? If so, how do I use that to figure what the charge rate should be? Thanks!
