charge rates...

what does everyone charge their batteries at?

i charged my 1400s at 5amps, 1700s at 3amps, and 2000s at 4...

but now there's 2400s, 3000s, 3300s... i need to catchup on the battery
tech...

I charge 2400's at about 6 A Pulse, and 3000's at about 5 A linear.

Don't have 3300's yet .. ;)

I charge my 3000s at 5 amps, 2400s at 3.5, and my 1700s at 4. I just
bought 2 3300 packs, and I charge them at 4 amps. I dont know if this
is the best for them, but I'll try with trial and error and see how
performance increases.

I tend to go at 5A(burp charge) for 2400's and 6A(linear charge) for 3000's,
I would do the same thing for 3300's

there are some pages on my website on the right hand side under "articles"
might be worth a read.

I do my 3300 trinity's at 3 amps, then after the BW charger shows it peaks,
I drop it to 2, charge it till it shows peak, charge at 1 till it peaks.
seems to be very effective since they are NIMH
