Default RE: battery care...


ORIGINAL: CGRetired

i would throw it on the charger and once it starts getting warm its done
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Once it begins to get warm enough to feel the heat, it's already done to much damage. That's why the charge rate should remain below 1C, and best to be done at the slowest possible rate to get the job done.

Never let them get hot enough to feel the heat. All that heat is contained internally and is doing damage. Charge them slowly, and never exceed 1C.

CG. I just picked up a JR 2300 Mah MiMh. put it on my oynx 230 charger set as factory charge defaults for a 2300 MiMh. within about 20 minutes it was complete and it was very warm to the touch. Are you saying I could've potentially killed it?
