Default RE: 6 V. NiMh care



Also, you need to pay close attention to not overcharging them. Either us a charger that will shut off when they are charged, or closely monitor the time you have them on charge.

Ni-mh' s do not maintain charge levels very well. They will lose approximately 5% of their charge per day, down to a certain level. So it's best to charge them up the night before you are ready to fly. This does not apply to the new newer Enerloop Ni-mhs that will maintain their charge level for very long times.
