Chargers

hi all

thinking its time to get another charger, i will need it to charger 7.2v nicads and maybe 8.4v nimh, are there any chargers that will do this? and what should i expect to be paying? might ask for it for a birthday present:)

cheers alex

Alex what kind of budget are you looking at?

I would recommend going for a seperate power supply and charger combination. It will cost a fair bit more than a cheap plug in the wall charger but on the up side you can charge your batteries in around 30 minutes

well not sure really, as i have got a funds for it myself, ill get it for my birthday, can you pick them up second hand? what charger would go with it?

thanks

ppl seem to use pro peak tons on ebay i have no experience tho

I use the T2m swallow ac/dc 2, because you can use that charger at home by plugging it directly in a ACsocket or in the field with a car battery. The ones like pro-peak chargers need either a seperate power supply or a car battery to work.

They cost only 99 euro which is about 67 pounds. No additional power supplies or stuff like that is needed.

does it charge quickily? and does it charger both nicad and nimh?

alex

Oh and unlike cheap wall chargers, they will fast charge with their built in power supply.

yes, up to 5A, and they charge nicad/nimh/pb/lipo/li-ion. They can also discharge and cycle nicad and nimh.

so how long estimated time for a 7.2volt pack, after a battle?

thanks

Depends on the mah rating of the pack. my gp3700 are done in about 10-15 minutes
