Astro Flight Model 4005 B Charger - OK for NiMH?

Post by Makers »

I have a 40 year old Astro Flight 4005 B charger. Can I use it to charge NiMH batteries. It can supply about 5 amps to a 7.2v NiCad pack.

It will charge them but it doesn't have any form of peak detection.

Peak detection? Is that some sort of auto shutoff?

Yes. It protects the battery.
