Help me out guys,
Sorry for the stupidity but, being I'm I'm old school I'm new to the world of NiMH batteries. I picked up a pirahna ac/dc digital peak charger, a venom 3000mah nihm battery for the ez-start and an orion marathon 1600mah battery.
I charged the venom battery at 3a it took about an hour, peak detection threshold? 6mv I think it was? It charged the full 3000 mah rating and was warm to the touch, felt about right.
The marathon on the other hand, I charged it at 1a, 1600mah rating but it only took 1200mah before saying it was fully complete. I left the threshold at 6mv where it is listed stock on the charger.
What am I doing wrong? Or is this normal for new packs to false peak? Also being old school and not knowing, what is the way to store these batteries? For example...
If I charge them the night before I'm going to bash, do I need to repeak them?
If I'm not going to be running for a while, how do I store nihm packs? As in how much of a charge do I leave in them? I hear they naturally discharge, so how can I leave a charge in them if they naturally discharge?
Thats all I can think of for now Thanks in advance for the help.
