Battery loading time.

CorporalClegg · January 5th, 2006, 17:05

Whats the average loading time of a 8,4 volt mini battery pack? I was too poor to buy an autoloader and my battery pack came without manual or box.

Dr_Tinshnipz · January 5th, 2006, 17:12

I put mine in till they get flaming hot

CorporalClegg · January 5th, 2006, 17:21

How long does it take for them to get steamin' hot? And should I do anything specific with the the first time I load them?
First AEG. : D

Does it say a number somewhere on it like... 200mah? (not sure if it's mah it says)
What is your battery, it should have a mah rating, such as 600mah?

The charger's means per hour and the battery is total, so a 200 charger and 600 battery means 3 hours.

Or, just charge it until it starts getting overly warm, about 3-5 hours if it's a mini on a wall charger.

The battery pack is covered with black plastic, does'nt say a thing but it's 600 ampere for sure. I got an Ansmann AC48 battery charger.

i agree .. i usually put mine in for about 5 hours

CorporalClegg · January 5th, 2006, 17:30

5 hours it is. Thanks for all the help guys.

Kid · January 5th, 2006, 17:31

Ok.
Googled it.

With that charger, which charges at 350mA should take exacly...

1:20
(that's 1 hour, 20 minutes)

NOT 5 hours for that battery and a Ansmann AC48 charger.

It depends on the output of your charger, so be careful. I had a mini battery like you (600mah) and I have a charger that has an output of 200mah. So it took me 3 hours to charge it up full.

CorporalClegg · January 5th, 2006, 18:56

Aight, thanks for rescuing my battery. : D

Oh, and Kid, what did you google?

Sniper Steve · January 5th, 2006, 20:18

You have to remember that unless you discharge your battery after it stops working in your rifle, that the battery will still have some 'juice'. Since it still has some power then if your battery was 600mah you do not really need to charge 600mah is a little less. But what I am sayings is do not go add on an hour or two worth of charge to make sure the battery is charged because it may do more bad then good.

NiCad is rather tolerant of overcharging, but not to the extent Tinshnipz does. A battery getting too hot to hold is a sign of serious damage being done. www.batteryuniversity.com

I got a Marui "discharger". I empty the battery each time.
