Dear All,
I've been out of R/C for more than a year, and get interested again recently. So I had some Ni-Cd battery packs, both TX and RX, were left unattended for that long. When I want to use those battery packs for my new trainer and fast charged with the BX-212 charger with about 0.2A current for measuring the capacity (trickle charge can't). One of them was measured even less than 100mAH for original 1100mAH capacity.
Am I doing wrong that should not fast charge them? Or I have to throw them away (re-cycled) for possible reliability issue? Is it possible to bring them back to alive?
