Default RE: charging question

Why not use the Hobbico Charger? .2 amps is 1/10 C for that battery, which is a very acceptable charging rate. You may find that the wal-wart charger will take even longer than the 64 hours the math shows.

How long would that take to charge a new battery?
The problem with the hobbico charger is that it shuts off after 2 hours.

I'd prefer to use the hobbico as I can hook up a meter and monitor the progress.
I'm just not sure how low is considered good for the 1st charge? I know a low charge is better.
