Could someone please tell me what the volts should be on a fully charged 6V 2500 mA NiMH battery..... also the same information on a 4.8V 2000mA NiMH battery. Thanks

RE: charged batteries

NI types are usually 1.5 volts / cell when full.

RE: charged batteries

Right off the charger, 1.5 volts sounds about right. A battery will loose charge after charging whether its used or not
Consider the battery discharged at 1.1v a cell

RE: charged batteries

The 1.5 volts is the rated capacity of the battery. Most Nicad and NImh batteries will go to about 20% over rated immediately after charge. My 4.8 volt NIMH enelopes usually show almost 6 volts when just charged.
