Swallow 2 advice please
 
hi there,
today i bought a swallow 2 charger.
What im wondering.
I have 2 stick packs.
Intellect 3600 and 4200(NiMH)
What do you guys recommend i charge and discharge these at?
ie what amp should i have it set at? and what volt?
Im want them to get a good solid charge so time isnt really a factor.

Thanks in advance

Charge at 5.0amp, I'm pretty sure the charger detects the voltage automatic with NMIH batts.

I also think the maximum discharge rate on that charger is 1.0amp.

at the highest discharge rate, how long should a 4200 pack take to discharge? any ideas? been going for over 2 hours now.

hi
the swallow can only discharge at 1amp
so discharging a fully charged 4200mah battery should take just over 4 hours
