Default Re: ???

You can't set the cutoff voltage when you use the NiMH setting on that charger. So use the NiCD setting, but choose the LINEAR one. Then choose number of cells, then set the peak at about 5mv/cell (20mv for the pack). Charge at 5 or 6 amps. The cells shoule be pretty warm, not hot, when done. About 125 degrees F.

The NiMH setting on that charger doesn't get them warm enough.

i finally got a good charger and dont want to abuse my new batteries. now i know there are alot of different factors to consider and a lot of different opinions,but what amperage would you guys charge your 4cell GP 3300's at?i dont know if it matters but they are PowerPush cells 1.172's and 1.170's and finally what i find most confusing is the voltage threshold setting displayed in millivolts

the charger is a Millenium pro and i run 1/12 stock.

thaks,
