[NSRCA-discussion] charging NiMH with NiCD charger

[Tony]

Yes, at least 10 if the pack is totally drained.  A c/10 rate does not give
100% of the charge rate into the battery pack.  More like 60%.  That's why
an overnight charge is 12-16 hours.  If the pack is just down the normal
amount from a day's flying say 5 flights, 10 hours is more than enough!

Jason:
You haven't hurt anything, but you are not getting a full charge,
even if
you leave it on for a week.  You need to try to stay around the
c/10 rate of
250ma.

I just realized that the battery in my 9C is a 2500 NiMH, but
have been
charging it with my standard Futaba NiCD wall charger. Any
reason to worry?
