How to charge and discharge a NiMH battery pack with Tenergy's TB6B (with voice-over)

[@jeremybotkin3896]

Just received one of these with a used RC car purchase. This is a fantastic set of tutorials! One question… What’s if it is left on the charger once it is full? Does it have a maintenance feature?

[@TheTenergybattery]

Hi Jeremy, it's a good practice to disconnect the charger from the battery pack when it is done charging - this mainly helps ensure the battery pack lasts longer. For the majority of the time, leaving them connected won't be the end of the world - your charger and battery should be ok if left connected after being charged. For maintenance features, around 3:55 timestamp we cover how to cycle a battery pack (useful for packs that haven't been used for a while), this charger can also discharge your battery pack to 50% for storage (ideal for the times when you do not plan on using the battery pack for a while).

So my sons 8.4 1100mah nimh should max charge at 1.1a and you say to do it at half but the charger doesnt go below 1.0. im assuming just charge it at the 1.0 setting?

One question, might sound silly but is there any specific way to store these batteries for a long time,E.G. if the battery is not being used for a few months, do I store them at the minimum voltage or maximum voltage

[@TheTenergybattery]

Greetings, that's a great question! For long term storage, like a few months, we suggest storing battery packs that are nimh or nicd at 80% charged. If it's a lithium based battery pack, we suggest 30% instead. Feel free to reach out to us directly at [e-mail] if you have any additional questions.

Super.. Great.. Love the info.. Knowing not to read the manual.. Thats something i like to do.. But learning from others thats how i do it.. One thing is, i have noticed experienced people intend to do crazy crap.. Obviously by mistake.. So i need help on. 2000mAh NiMH 4.8V

[@juliangrandpiano]

What is the best storage voltage for both Nimh and Nicd, pls?

[@TheTenergybattery]

Generally it's recommended to store the battery around 40-50% charged. For Nimh and Nicd the voltage will be around 1.28V-1.2V. If you're unsure and would like more info, please reach out to our team with your battery pack's specifications at [e-mail] and our team can help provide more info.

Great video. Helped me diagnose that my new charger won't go into auto mode. I'll try again after returning this one!

excellent video thanks.

How does it know when it’s full if you do t select voltage?

[@TheTenergybattery]

Hello Wunderwaffe, for NiMH or NiCD Battery packs, the charger will detect a negative delta V when the battery pack is full.

How can I change from manual to auto on amp charge

[@TheTenergybattery]

Hi Ken, please check out this video where we show how to switch from manual to auto around 2:10 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJuZnIuQitt0aposi=n0OiGrq2P6Ee4rCc&t=130
