Hump Packs ?????

[Shanty]

I charge mine though my quick charger. Don't go any higher then 3.0 amps though. A safe spot to be is like 2 amps or maybe a little higher. If you are not in a rush to get it quickly charge. I have always heard to be safe. If its a 1300mah pack. Charge it at 130 mah. If it's a 1500mah charge it at 150mah.

Just watch the temperature of the pack and make sure it doesn't get to hot.

Ok recived new Hump pack today .. They sent the wrong one ...DAMNIT ...But for some reason they sent me 2 ... KOOL I guess

Anyway my ? is ... They charging lead is the same as my quick charger can I use my quick charger to charge the pack ? Will that screw it up and if I can; How long will I need to charge it it's a 1300 mah pack

You can charge them just as fast as you want....

HOWEVER,
​

The faster you charge them the less life they will have, and the greater the chance of them spontaneously combusting (FIRE!!)

With a 1300 mAh pack it should be charged at a rate of 130 mA for about 10-13 hrs. I usually charge a brand new pack for about 50% longer the first time (15-18 hrs in this case).

Check your charger for an output rating. 130 mA is ideal for that pack, but I would feel comfortable up to 150 mA. Just monitor the pack for heat if you go with a higher rate charger - warm is ok, hot is not!

A lower rate charger (such as, say a 100 mA) will work fine, it just takes longer to reach a full charge. You want to stay as close to 10% of the battery output capacity as possible, but it doesn't have to be exact. (i.e. you have 1300 mAh pack, need a 130 mA charger - 10% of 1300=130)

I have a cheap quick charger .. You just turn the dial and set it for the time you want ... I guess I will need to just keep on eye on the temp .. Thanks
