Charger

[wgalligan]

What rate are you charing at and what mil pack are you trying to charge?  They will get warm but  should not get any warmer then you can handle in your hands.  If it is a new pack it should be charged at C/10 before using your Alpha.  For some reason if they are not formed properly chargers like the Alpha,SuperNova will not peak detect properly.  I seen this happen in a pack that I didnt form properly. It wouldnt cycle at all. It would trip out(peak) way before the battery was fully charged.

I have charged NiMh at up to 1C with no ill effects.  But C/10 is always the safest and easiest on your packs.

  What chargers work well with Nimh batteries? I've tried various settings on my Alpha 4 but end up unplugging the batteries before it goes to trickle because they start heating up. I'm looking for something that can be left unattended without worry.

  Thanks,
