OK, all you battery experts...4500NiMhs
Need some help/advice with charging/disharging.
Trying to get my batteries ready for the 'Birds. Charger will only let me charge @ 5A, discharge @ 1A. Discharged batteries @ 1A down to 3.6v (0.9v per cell for a 4-cell), then charged back up @ 5A. But - I'm only getting about 3600 - 3700mAh out of each pack. Should I try shorting out the packs and go from there, or can you not short out NiMhs? I did discharge 'em with my light bulb setup as well, down to "no light left" and left them on that for about ten minutes, then charged back up. Still only getting the 3600-3700mAh out of 'em.
Can any of y'all help me out...?
