Default Robitronic Dyno as a charger?

Has anyone used the robitronic dyno as a charger for GP3300's, I am confused over the delta peak. On my Pulsar it is arranged as 15mv, 20 mv, 25mv etc. On the dyno charging function it has delta peak arranged like 0.15, 0.20, 0.25 etc I have been told that 0.15 would be equal to 150mv!

Yes, 0.15 would be equal to 150mv. Iīm not sure of the lowest delta peak with the Robitronic as I never used the charging function of the dyno but I think 0,10 = 100mV should be the lowest. But what I know is the Robitronic dyno was designed some years ago when there were no NiMh-batteries available. So I think itīs designed for NiCad-batteries only. With some of the Sanyo NiMhīs you can use the 100mV setting but I think for the GPīs itīs a little bit too much. Maybe a different thing is the temperature controlled charging mode.
Despite this I think itīs by far the best dyno available.

Does anyone know a good setting for the charger on the temperature function for GP3300's?

Thanks

As you have a Pulsar why do you want charging with the Robitronic? I donīt have a Pulsar but I think itīs much better for charging GPīs than the Robitronic.

Default Robitronic Dyno as a charger?

As a Robitronic Dyno owner, my question is:

Why would anyone want to use a $600+ (usd) Dyno as a Charger?
I love my Robi as a Dyno, but to use it as a Charger, sacrilege!

I need another charger because I use my pulsar alot to run my lathe and break in motors at the track which leaves less time for charging cells. I was buying the Robi anyway so I thought I may aswell see if I can use the charger function on it.
