e-Electric Batteries & Chargers > How to charge 24 cell pack

I'm getting a Logo 20, and I'm told it uses 2 - 12 cell NIMH battery packs for a total of 24 cells. I'm thinking on getting the Orbit Pro charger. Will I hook the two packs together and charge all 24 cells at once, or will I have to charge each 12 cell pack separately? If so, can the Orbit do both packs at the same time?

Thanks,

the Orbit has only one output so you
will have to charge all 24 at once or
live w/ 2x the amount of time and charge
12 at once.

Even the cheaper Orbit will handle
24 cells w/o any problem (it goes
up to 30 cells @ 6A rate)

The Orbit Pro is perfect for charging your 24 cells in series.

please explain the operational advantage
of the Pro model vs. the more basic V6
other than a peak output of 8A in this
persons specific case.

Compare and contrast that advantage
against the price differential.

How to charge 24 cell pack

Thanks for the replies. Now this might sound stupid, but I'm new to the electric scene, and the charger and batteries haven't arrived yet, so I don't what the unit looks like; but how do you actually attatch the two packs to the one output on the charger??

The Pro version of the Orbit will leave 24 NiMH HR2600s warmer and capable of delivering more current at a higher voltage at the end of the charge. Whether this difference is worth paying the extra $$$ for is totally up to you.

Slowpoke:

Connect the batteries in series. +ve of one pack to the charger, -ve of this pack to the +ve of the other pack and -ve of the other pack to -ve on the charger.
