I understand that you're supposed to charge your batteries at 1C which is fine for the 4000mAh battery because I can use the 4A switch.
But what about the other batteries? I've been charging them all at 4A. Is this correct? I've noticed that it takes a good few hours to charge, even the 3600's take about 2 hours at 4A.
Should I be charging them at a different rate? Shouldn't a 4000mAh take about 1 hour at 4A?
Have I been buggering up my batteries?  |
This one?
4 amps will be fine for all. Your only just over for the 3600's
Are you using it plugged into the 249v mains? That will explain the time to charge your 36's. It's 1.2amps if plugged into mains
Can you sellect NiCd or NiMh?
If you can set it to NiMh
