NiMH AA rechargables, 2300mAh!!! Questions
I went to Target and bought an 8-pack of Energizer 2300mAh AA batteries for my radio. For 20$, this is great! I hate wasting all those alkaline batteries normally and just throwing them away.
One question I need to ask is: What is a safe charging rate for these guys? The Energizer website says they base their studies on a 230mA discharge. But this doesn't give me any charging information. I've read about NiMH chargers put out by Energizer to do anywhere from 4A to 100mA. I am doing 1A right now. I'll see if they get too hot.
All the batteries are just in my radio controller and I made a custom adapter to wire my radio recharge jack to my charger.
Being that these batteries are huge (2300mAh) I would like to know if I can bump up the charge current to 1 or 1.5A. Another guy on this forum said he's done it w/ success. But my search didn't turn up any other information.
Thanks in advance!
