Discharging a NiMH battery
Welp, it's me again. Another question for all you experts out there.
I'm trying to form my new hydrimax 1200 6v nimh battery. I charged it up to 7.2 volts and all I have to discharge it with are my radios. Already I have gone through 2 fully charged radios by leaving them on to try and get this battery discharged. That went on for 6 1/2 hours and the battery is still at 6.4v's. Is there an easy or easier way to discharge this battery so I can recharge it again since I don't have a charger with a built in discharger?
Edit; Also, if I just turn the receiver on without turning on the transmitter, will it discharge at the "same rate" as though the transmitter were on and not moving the servos?
I'd like to know,
