Help with charging NiMH
Hey guys, I have two Orion 4500mah NiMH 6c batteries. I also have a Dynamite Prophet sport charger. I ran one of the batteries completely dead and today, charging at only 1 amp, it only took one hour and forty-five minutes to charge...that doesn't sound right, does it? I was told it would take "hours." Thanks for the help.

RE: Help with charging NiMH
False peaks can tend to happen if you run a battery TOO dead. 0.9v per cell is the lowest you should run a Nimh pack. Check the voltage on the pack and divide by 6 to get a general idea of each cells level of charge. You may have to discharge it again keeping an eye on the voltage then recharge.
