NIMH batts,What am I dong wrong?
Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2014 11:21 am
Ive been running RC for years.
Ive also been struggling with getting a propper
charge into my NIMH batts.
I use 3000 to 5000 mah,Im using a Venom Pro Charger.
Ive set it from 1amp to 5amps,and I routinely fall way
short.
The setting on the charger are correct,for a 3K mah pack
ill set it for 3amps,and hit go.It will charge to maybe 100
200,maybe 250mah and then shut down..
Same results for the 3600 and 5000 packs. The voltage is
set for 7.2V..
It leaves me fustrated as hell when Ive got to charge a 5K mah
pack 130-150 mah at a time..Knowing Im not getting the juice
into it,And knowing Im not getting the power Out of it on the
other end..
Ive read all sorts of mixed reviews on the charger.
Should I be discharging my NIMH packs, Or would zeroing them out
kill them.
I dont race,I run for fun.But Aint no fun running with out the juice flowing..
If theres a thread or threads I can get pointed to,please show me the
way and Ill learn to fish..I dont want to just be repeating others woes..
