e-Electric Batteries & Chargers > How to charge my 7.2v AAA battery pack?

Hi, I just got my HB and they came with a pack of 7.2v - 7AAA battery pack. The stock charger is charging the pack on 0.3A and it will take about 1.5 to 2 hrs to finish the charge. What if I charge it on an RC charger like PITBULL, how many "A" should I set my charger to charge the battery? Does it matter to charge the battery in low "A" value? Thanks!

I've been charging mine at 800 mah, and using a triton at 1.5C Depends alot on the charger, the Triton will back down if its pushing to much current.

charge rates...

You can safely go Capacity times 2. When I used to charge my 720 NiHM's, I would charge at 1.2A . That's cuz I wanted to fly, and now that I have LiPB's, I don't need to worry about charging too much!!

But first off, you need to give your batteries a break in charge of capacity divide by 10. So, if you have 720's, you would charge them at 72 mAh for 14 hours. Or use this formula.... capacity of pack times 1.4 divide by charger output. This gives you time in hours to charge! Keep in mind, that you only need to do this only 1 time!!!! And then after that, you may fast charge at C*2.

Auto practice is when you have a problem!!! XFC Pilot '05 A/C
