Ok guys...and gals aswell ill go through this one more time and make it simple: Ive been to other R/C user groups besides this one and this forum is my last hope. Got so many different answers on the subject at different R/C groups. Been to "Reds" Battery Clinic web site for answers.Soooo...here goes:
A. My battery charger: MRC Super Brain 959 Deta Peak Charger, will charge 3 to 8 cell NIcd and NImh batteries. I can adjust the charge current rate from 0.5 to 4.5 amp and adjust the delta peak voltage threshold from 5mV to 70mV ( what does. It has Plug 'n Play and will detect and set the peak charge before charging. B. I have a 6 cell Nimh 7.2 volt 750mAh pack that I made...its new...and want to charge it C. IF I am correct Nimh can false peak. D. What would... YOU... battery experts out there select as a charge rate in the amp setting and mV setting and time aswell to charge the above menttioned pack. E. Some of the answers I got on other R/C groups: 1. charge at 1.5 amps.....70mV 16 hours 2. charge at 0.5amps to 1amp at 5mV/cell....wich sounds like to me ( either 0.5 to 1 amp at 30mV ( 6 cell at 5mV = 30 mV) 3. charge at 0.5 and let the charger detect the peak...charge it then let the charger trikle untill it shuts off. F. I here alot af flack about making your own pack ( I do) so what is the real deal about it. I know it can be dangerous, it can ruin the cells. But it can be done and alot of us do it. Ive done it (destroyed my first pack) but made a second one.....came out fine....I learned from my mistakes on the first.
Please help.....all answers and opinions, negative or positive are welcomed
thanks for helping Mike
