Default Battery noob question about recharging AA with Onyx 230.

I have a Slayer Pro and I haven't bought reciever pack yet and I am using 2200 mah AA Energizers in the battery cage with reciever plug. Anyway can I use my Onyx 230 multi/lipo charger to charge batteries in cage with my squid connector? If so what mah would I set it for since the AA are 2200 mah a piece and I already know to set it for type of battery but not sure what mah amount. It's a pain to take batteries out every charge because I have to tape them so they don't lose connection with hard landing. Thanks!

They should handle a charge rate anywhere between 200mah and 1 amp, depending on how fast you want to charge them

1 amp would be just over 2 hours from empty

200mah would be 10 hours

Cheers

Closer you stay to the low side of that range, the longer they'll last. If they get real hot at 1amp, you're prob cooking some cycle life out of them. They shoudn't get more than warm.

I charge my LSD AAs at 700ma and they just get warm.
