Ok, so I just got an M11 for xmas and some Energizer 2500mah NiMH batteries. I plan on using the charging outlet so I dont have to take out the batteries. I'll use my LRP Pulsar and Competition Electronics T-35bl for charging. How many amps and what should other settings be at for these chargers?

Thanks,
David

i just use an old cell phone charger that's rated for 12v and 300maH, it has the same jack as the battery holder. (M8, not M11)

on a side note, all of the Energizer2500 AA's that i have suck compared to the Rayovack2500's, and Panasonic 2100's. They don't seem to last nearly as long between charges.

(this comparison is using my phone charger, and the charger that comes with the batteries.)

Well I plan on using my Pulsar and T-35bl so ya.

dont do this or you may hurt the radio

What will? Charging it inside the radio?

yes, when nimh charge, they release gas that can damage circuitry of radio

i use my pulsar at 1 amp... has been working fine over 2 years...

Thanks Guys!! I just charged them out outside the radio instead at 1 amp.

AMO- What do you use for a D-Peak on the pulsar?

I'd say under anything under 30 mV, i'm mostly using 15 on my Orion 2300 AA's but when i forget to change the profile i use 35 mV with a slight temp difference, maybe 5 degrees...

the proper way is to plug a slow charger in the radio cuz of the wiring and stuff its not good for the radio or take the pack out of the radio and charge at .8A i do both.

Thanks. Right now I'm using 25 at 6amps with my 3800's. Should I be using something different?

Thank You

just charge them at .5 to .8 amps until they are slight ly warm maybe 36 degreee's celcius, but the most important thing is charge them out side the controller because people have had troubles with the m11 blowing a pin head capacitor because of the voltage spike caused bye freshly charged cells.
havnt had it happen but a few guys all agreed it happended to them so that enough for me to be cautious

im using 15mV delta peak at 1amp for my transmitter
