I am new to the wonderful world of rechargable NiMN batteries. After watching the "Charging" indicator light go off on my charger (Rayovac 15 minute) I had the nagging question "How do I know it's really charged?"
What do you measure to verify that it's fully charged? Voltage? Current? Or is it more complicated? I read the thread here about "flash current" but it seemed to refer to lithium batteries.
Is this kind of cheap battery tester of any use in this case? Radio Shack Or do I need to get a multimeter?
I guess I don't need precise data, I just want to know if I have a bad cell or if the charger isn't doing its job.
Any tips are appreciated.
