Charging AA's For the Transmitter

[srusinek]

I have this charger that is awesome and has all the attachments so I can charge various batteries.

It gives ok directions so to speek but does not give any directions on how to charge different format of batteries. What setting do I have to use to charge 8 AA batteries for the transmitter. They're Sanyo 700 mah nicd batteries. Thanks in advance, Steve.

How many volts each? 1.2?

 

[srusinek]

Yes they're 1.2 volts each.

Sounds like the same batteries I used in my VRC transmitter. I charged them at .7A

Not sure why he's asking about voltage for the NiCd batts :shrug:

 

[srusinek]

Ok thanks for the advice and I'll charge them at .5 at first to get a good charge.

I have also some Duracell and Energizer 2300 mah nimh batteries that I normally charge on a quick charger. Can I charge these batteries the same way as the nicds but at a higher amp rate?

Depends on their current rating. If they rated at 2300 mAH, you can charge them at up to 2.3 amps.

I didn't have good luck with my Duracell batteries,the fast charger was the best way for me. If you want to try,check the output of the fast charger and try charging at the same rate.
