looking for oldtamiyaphil – charger questions

[Admin]

i have a hobbico ac/dc 900 auto charger – trickle hcarge rate 35 – 75 mAh and a fast charge rate of 5 amps. i still use it to charge my 7.2 battery packs for my wild willy but would like to be able to charge my epoch (stock type 2)and battery packs for my mini t (7.2 volt 600 mAh) any advise would be much appreciated.

For answers to all your Epoch questions.

Fast charge on that charger is WAY too fast for the Epoch.

I recommend 300ma (0.3a) as a max.

If you charger is designed for 4-7 cells, then you could use the trickle charge mode (75ma), that will take 120/75=1.6 hours + about 10% for luck 😉

For the Mini-T you’ll be waiting 10 hours on the trickle charge and again, 5A is just too fast for those little cells.

Might be time for a new charger.

i was thinking more along the lines of some way to scrubb off some current -small light bulbs and resistors maybe??
