I would like to charge/discharge my TX 1100mAh 9.6V NiCD packs with the BC6, and have a couple of questions.

Do I set the 'final voltage' setting to the same as NIMH batteries, i.e. 0.8V per cell?

Is it ok to discharge the packs at 1A, or should I disharge at a lower rate to extend life?

Lastly, I am using the temerature probe and when charging NiMH I can view the temperature, but not when charging LiPo's, so does the BC6 still monitor the probe during a LiPo charge?

Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance
