just a question about charging a high drain pack of 16aas in a fm battery holder... i am using a Universal Smart Charger (1.5A) for 19.2-24V NiMH... i am a little concerned because the pack gets very hot... almost too hot to touch... i unplugged the charger after checking how warm the cells were...
is this normal? i have the temp sensor electrical taped to the side of the battery pack (i believe it cuts off power at 70C... that seems high... i thought 45c was the cutoff for nimh cells)
just wanted to get some feedback before i continue charging...
the charger is charging at 1.5A and i am charging 16 aa 2000mah nimh high drain cells.
i tested the voltage when it was getting hot and i got more than 24v from 16 cells
anyone?:thinking:
