Just got this charger. Can you do a video on discharging and cycling nimh please? Instructions are poor!

[@andrewp5309]

Please do,I have 7.2v 4600,mah,do I type in 4600as discharge rate?

[@alexandres8846]

best cycling 1/10 mah charging 3000mah is a 300mah in 14 to 16 hours 4000mah is 400mah....

[@thedbcooperforum]

You charging a battery or starting a rocket?

[@STIMPYYT]

Great little charger and great informative, helpful videos. Thanks!

[@alexandres8846]

the best charge for nimh batteries is overnight at 1/10 capacity. 3000mah charging at 300mah for 14 or 16 hours absorbs the full rated capacity. all cells are cycled and balanced at the same voltage.

[@Veganarchy-Zetetic]

I see sooooo much contradicting information on this it drives me nuts. The majority are saying that slow charge is actually bad for NIMH batteries. Why can't an official answer from battery makers just set everyone straight ffs.

[@nickpink25]

Ive just bought this charger from amazon I love it for my lipos & I can use it with a12v for the field & ac at home ,well worth £45

[@nickpikey]

Ive a similar charger which I want to charge my 5000nimh battery so would i set it no more than 5amps?

[@philosophy4242]

I think if you charge it at 3.0 it will make the battery life last longer

[@JuPac420]

Does your battery get warm? Mine gets warm and I shut it off early out of fear

[@luisadriandelgado5343]

not worth it!!! other brands for less outperform this China made product which will failed horribly all test

[@ZanyGeek]

All chargers made in China. Mines been fine for 1000's of charges.

[@Creeperboss365]

I don’t remember discharging my battery the last time I used it. Should I discharge before recharging even though it has been sitting for at least 2-3 months.

[@ZanyGeek]

No it'll be fine

[@StormCrow41691]

just got this in the mail, should i discharge my nihm batterys b4 i charge since your doing in in manual mode? will it sense if the battery has charge on it?

[@ZanyGeek]

You can do, it wont kill them not to though

[@chrisfink1]

does the charger know when to stop or do you need to set a stop in the settings?

[@ZanyGeek]

It knows when

[@king82rc36]

Great explanation!

[@notaluckyturret5156]

If I have a 220mah battery would I charge it at 2.2 or 0.2?

[@haxemeback9304]

You can use 0.2 A because it is 220 mah battery so it better and safer than charging but you can charge it at 5c but it will mean hot nihn battery and will mean less recharge cycles

[@pierstaylor7780]

Charger keeps giving me error messages, don’t buy

[@carlosguerriero533]

The charging rate is incorrect

[@ZanyGeek]

Ok

[@gurjodhdhaliwal8434]

How long does it take to charge?

[@ZanyGeek]

20 mins
