hello, I've been wanting to pick up a 4 pack of energizer 2500 mAh batteries from walmart.
The charger i have is a dorcy failsafe 41-1645. It came with 4 1600 mAh nimh AA's that i've been using for a while. The charging is based on time. There is a 5 hour setting and a 3 hour setting afterwhich it supposidly drops down to trickle charging, though there is no documentation to indicate what this trickle rate is.
Here are the charge rates
AA 1-4 pcs. 380mA+-10%
AAA 1-4 pcs. 180mA+-10%
Am i corect that i could use this charger to charge 2500's using a combination of a 5 hour charge followed by a 3 hour charge or perhaps just using two 3 hour charge cycles, or even just a 5 hour charge and then let it trickle charge over night?
Should i just get a new charger instead?
