I purchased 2 new expensive 2400s for my starter box.
4 Questions :
1. Should I slow charge them for the first time - if so how and what amps/discharge
2. What amps / discharge should I use to charge them the night before an event?
3. Because they'd only get charged maybe once a month - should i completly discharge them to a particular voltage and leave them flat?
4. I have the option of 2Amp or 10Amp discharge on my charger - which shall I use?
Thanks
charging at 4amps is your best choice (10amp for discharge), if you ever discharging them before charging, bring them down to 5.4v.
Because the 2400's are Nicads, you should store them flat if they are to be stored without use for more than 2 weeks.
