Default Charge time for nimh receiver battery?

How long will it take to charge the Nimh receiver/servo battery in my Hangar 9 Alpha 40?

Using the Spektrum 9526 wall charger and no instructions with it.

Thanks.

Who Knows?
You didn't say anything about the voltage or capacity of the NMIH receiver battery!
A web search quickly showed that the charger is rated at 150mah and is for four cell NMIH batteries.
These days, RX NMIH batteries might be four or five cells.
Assuming four cells and so forth, a discharged 2000mah NMIH might take 13 to 15 hours or so.

Generally speaking. The indicator will change from yellow to green after the battery was fully charged.

That makes sense, thanks. I think the nimh is 1500mah battery.

There is no indicator light on the charger or battery Don. But thanks.
