You are correct. About 1/10 C for the first couple cycles is the right 
way for the chemistry. BTW, Radical RC has some very affordable prices 
for the 4 and 5 cell packs. Dave Thacker also has some very good info 
on his website on the care and feeding.

I've been using their 5 cell 1650 pack. I think it cost around 15$; I 
had to solder the connector tho. It's been so long I forget, and I'm 
sure it has gone up since

Hi all,

Are MiMH still supposed top be charged at C/10 for the first charge?  I
bought a new battery and it no longer says to charge at the lower rate 
for
the first charge.  So what's the real story?  Is it gonna make the 
battery
have less capacity or not last as long if it is fast charged for the 
first
charge?  Thanks in advance.

Paul
