    Possible BC-900 charger not terminating correctly

    Thanks for the replys, ok so it sounds like the batts did not reach full charge. I will do another charge on them and see what happens this time. In reference the cells they are only about a year old with about 30-40 charge cycles on them. I use them in a scanner radio that I have and the low...

    Correct charge rate for Imedion 2400 NIMH

    Ok I have another question, what is the difference of the life span of the battery's charging at 0.5c vs 0.1c? Also I think the heat I am feeling on the battery's when charging is coming from the charger due to the limited space between the battery's. I was thinking about making a adapter to...

    Correct charge rate for Imedion 2400 NIMH

    Ok I know I have asked before on the correct charge rate for my Imedion 2400mah cells. I have a BC-900 and BC-700 charger. I really think my BC-900 is not working correctly when charging cells at 1000mah. For example I was charging at 1000mah in cells 2,3, & 4. The cells got a little warm...

I bought the radio used and did not have a nicad battery with it, so I choose to purchase a new 1200mah NIMH battery to in that was available.

    NIMH Battery Charging Question

    Thanks to all who reply-ed. The battery is 7.5volts instead of 3.6 and is rated for 1200mah instead of 600mah and is a NIMH battery instead of NICAD. I do not keep the power adapter plugged into the radio all the time and I do not transmit with it plugged in either. But my question is, If I...

    NIMH Battery Charging Question

    Thanks for all the replys. The radios in question are 2 Motorola MV21CV radios that I use on the 2 of the MURS channels. Now this brings me up to my next question. If I were to use say a 12vdc 500mah adapter plugged into the side of the radio where the connector goes to charge the battery's is...

    NIMH Battery Charging Question

    Hello, I have a question. I have been reading some information that says that NIMH battery's should be fast charged rather than slowed charged and a full discharge should be performed once a month to reduce the memory effect. Now that brings me to my next question. I just recently purchased...

    Battery charging question

    I have a question, I have 2 Motorola MV21CV radios and I just ordered a new battery for each 1200mah NIMH. I don't have a rapid charger just the standard plug in charger. If I use this charger I assume that it won't hurt the batterys as long as I don't overcharge them correct? (Like say...

    Charging Rate Question

    I have been reading the threads here about proper charging of AA nimh cells. I have read that the proper charging rate is between 0.5c to 1c. Is this correct? The reason I am asking is that I normally charge all my cells at 0.5c and some get warmer than others, I think I may suspect that I...
