What is the best way to charge Rx batteries. Right now I am using the little wall charger my futaba controller came with. It takes like 16 hours to charge my 1600Mah batter. I think thats right, since the charger is 100mah, right? So can I peak charge these? I tried using my tekin peak charger at 1amp, and for some reason they peaked out early, and did not even have enough power for one tank. :shock: So I ordered a BR2000 discharger today. Give me some advice!

Get a Triton or an Accucyle Elite.

NiMh need approx 150% of the discharge put back into them to get them back to 100%. To put 1000 miiliamps back into a NiMh at 100 mahr charge rate will require 15 hours of charge time ..... and you need to monitor the temperture and it should get warm .. but not hot.
