NOFX Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Hi. I just programmed the hkc6 charger to charge my 1800mah nimh at 1.8amps. It took it up to 9.2 volts . The battery is a 6 cell. . I can't programme the voltage , just the charge rate in amps. The provided charger pushes out a massive 500 mah .... So it takes millennia to charge the batteries.Any ideas? Without me having to shell out loads of cash. Tia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimh can go up to around 1.5v when charged and ideally no less than 1.0v when flat. 6cells charged = 1.5 x 6 = 9v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Ace. Cheers mate . The charger don't auto shutoff when charging nimhs for some reason. I'll just have to keep an eye on it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly In My Soup Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) I wanted to like your post dazp but I ran out of likes!!!! Daz has it spot on, a NiMH will charge to the equivalent of roughly 120% its stated voltage Edited February 25, 2018 by Fly In My Soup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
