what is the full charged voltage on a 1300mah 1.2v sub c glow plug ignitor battery?

[pelicanprentice]

i took my 1.2v 1300mah nimh battery out of my glow ignitor and it seems to be about 1.4V with a multimeter set to vdc.
any idea of the full charge voltage on 1.2v 1300 mah nimh battery?
thx!

nimh can go from 1.39 to 1.52,, 1.4 is good

1300 mah isn't going to last very long. Get a 4300 mah.

Got a link to the glow heater your using? 1300mah is pretty low for a sub-c NiMH.

I just use a cheap AA heater with 1800-2550mah LSD cells.

Like this:

and these:

This one is decent as it can charge batteries individually and it comes with a 2A PSU:
https://www.amazon.com/18650-Battery-Charger-XTAR-Adapter/dp/B08R88KZJW

Puts out .5A for 4 cells (2 amps total), so could charge up 4x2000mah AA's in 4 hours, or 2 in 2 hours. I usually don't charge my AA's at anything more than .5A though. Many of those purpose built AA 4 cell chargers require you to put cells in in pairs. This one will do any quantity of 1-4 at a time.

1 fully charged 2200mah AA will get me through a break-in day with an engine without a problem. That's a lot of starts in a day on a single charge.

A higher capacity sub-c would be fine too:
https://www.amazon.ca/Rechargeable-NIMH-Battery-3600mAh-Drain/dp/B06XJ3ZS17

The wall charger with that puts out 170mah, so it will take nearly a full day (21 hours) to charge.
