Default Looking for Battery Info

Im new to RC and I have a RC10 T4. Im looking for some extensive info on charging discharging, cycling and maintaining bateries. I am interested in specific rates of charge and discharge for different goals. Whats good? Whats bad?
If anyone knows of a particularly good website I would appreciate it.
Thanx in advance.

Are you asking for this on NiMh batteries? Or lipo?

One place to read about stuff like that is old threads from NiMh days. Or go to PromatchRacing.com and read their maintenance section on NiMhs - give you some detailed infor on how to maintain packs - at least what they recommend for their cells.

If you've got particular setting questions - ask here, someone will know and help out. Thats a good charger from the reviews I've read about it.
