*Break-In Charge
CURRENT CHART
NiCd and NiMH CHARGE AND DISCHARGE CURRENT CHART
CHARGE CURRENT TIPS: This table shows recommended charge current settings for NiCd and NiMH batteries. Find the battery’s
rated capacity (mAh) in the left column. Determine how quickly you need to charge the battery, and find the corresponding current in
the columns to the right. * Follow the “Break-In Charge” column for batteries which are new, which have been in long-term storage, or
if a battery has accidently been discharged COMPLETELY (if a Tx or Rx power switch has been left on, for example). See the Setup
Menu for setting the number of minutes in the “Safety Timer” screen. The minutes shown for here are NOT RECOMMENDED for 2 hour,
1 hour, or quick charge currents.
DISCHARGE CURRENT TIPS: More accurate mAh measurements can be achieved when using a C/5 discharge current (battery capacity
divided by 5). Find the battery’s rated capacity (mAh) in the left column. Then move across to the far right to the C/5 Discharge Current
column to determine the proper discharge current setting to use.
