Need Astroflight 110D Peak charger help
Hi all, I'm trying to understand the correct use of the Astroflight 110D peak charger. I lost the instructions, and don't remember the right formula for determining charge rates. I have a couple of different batteries; a 7 cell 270MAH NiMH, a 7 cell 300MAH NiMH, and some 600MAH NiCads. I know you're supposed to multiply or divide capacity by something, but what? Is it a different formula for fast and slow rates? Even on the lowest setting on slow, it still peaks the batteries in only 7-8 hours. Is this good for the batteries? I thought they should take like 12 hours overnight/slow. Any other tips for using this charger would be great. Thanks in advance.

my hunch is that the minumum charge rate on
the 110D is around 50mA. A C/10 rate on
your 2 small packs woulod be around 27-30mA so you can see why your getting them done
in only 7 or so hours.
