Charging Question for Receiver Packs
 
OK I am wondering if I am doing it right?? I am charging with my ICE Charger and I have the settings as follows:
1500 ma
1.5 amp charge
.9 amp discharge
5mv cut off

Do these look like the best settings? or should I have them sewt different to get better results?

Thanks
Sean

For rx batts you don't want punch, you want time, so they're not generally not charged at over 1amp, versus the 1C guideline. You'll get better life at the lower charge rate too. When I have time, I charge mine at 0.5a - 1a is considered a fast charge and 0.5a a slow charge for rx batts.

You can use the 1.5a rate if they're not getting hot if yu don't care how long they last (cycles). Mine would be too hot charging at 1C.


Everything else looks fine.

Great Thanks for the info, I have lots of time so I will start charging at .5 from now on.

Thanks
