Charge Rates

does that mean you'll be checking those using NiMH are charging @ 1C also as per BRCA guidelines which say manufacturers not matchers



BRCA advice

2. Never exceed the manufacturers recommended fast charge rate. This should be 1C max., even if the manufacturer states higher. (C being rate of charge based on capacity of the cell, e.g. a 4200 mAh cell = 4.2 amps)
Quote:
Drivers need to recognise that the 'matchers' recommendations are intended to achieve maximum performance. It is the recommendation from the cell manufacturer that should be used.

I'll be using both type of battery over the weekend
