Tekin 112c and NiMH ?????
Hi all, I have a Tekin 112c charger that has E26 firmware. Can I use this to charge NiMH's without damageing them? Should I leave the power- flex off ? I do know that I can have the firmware upgraded, Guess my timing is kind of bad. I just pulled all my old Losi trucks out for my son as he's now old enough, And is ready to RIP!!! I went to my LHS all they have are NiMH batteries and guess what I don't know a dam thing about these batteries. Just the good old NiCD's. Dam I feel OLD! LOL!! Thanks for any input on this. pecor

In this case, I would suggest using a tray or low discharge amperage to bring the pack down really low before charging. Be sure the pack is cool, charge at 5 amps and watch the mAh rating on the charger. When it gets to about 2500, just turn it off. Unless your running carpet with a low turn mod, you should have plenty of run time, and when you cut off the NiMH's a little early, I have found that they have much more punch!
