Default RE: need help with battery

If you are attempting to charge an 8.4 volt battery with a charger that outputs 8 volts the charge time will be eternity[]

To charge a battery requires that the charger supply a higher voltage than the battery.

Also, charging at 1000mA might be risky without an intelligent charger.
