When running with nicd/nimh the LVC should be switched off completely.
I am on the third cycle of the batteries now, I used 0.1A - 0.2A - 0.5A for these charges. Only 0.5A triggered peak detection so far. I looked for the voltages while discharges, they gradually go down from 8.4V to 7.2V in nearly an hour and drop to 5.4V in 2 minutes. Is this logical? (and they take up like 1050-1100mah, advertised was 1300)
