| the accucycles are infamous for not reporting the actual number of amp hours they pull out of the cells. The other thing is that the original accucycle stops charging after 15 hours, so there is no way to fully charge the cells since typically you will have to add between 10 and 50 % more energy to the cells (from my experience, this increases as you decrease the charge rate below C/10 which in your case would be 180milliamps) for those larger packs, you really need a bigger charger... for timed charging I just pick up a cheap constant current charger and a 4$ wall timer and play with it a bit to see exactly how long from a discharged state it takes to charge the pack. set the timer and go. but the other option I have been doing is simply always fast charging and then cycling occasionally and for the convenience I simply throw the cells away once a year.
