charging a 9.6v 1100mah battery

[kirbymeister025]

hi guys ive had a look but still cant figure it out/ I have a 9.6v 1100mah battery and one of these adjustable chargers for TIME and MA. Basically what MA should i set it to and for how long as i dont want to knacker it up putting to much charge through it or something. Im guessing its a 9.6v battery as there 1.2v cells and theres 8 of them so 1.2 x 8 = 9.6. i know this is probably all very simple but i want to double check before i go and burn it out or something. any help would be great guys. Cheers Rob

Hi, I also have the same power battery and Amp hour rating, I am no expert but my charger does a good job in ten mins, has the ability to discharge a battery also, your right to check with some of the big boys Wolf etc, I have seen a battery go twice the size and start melting when wrong!

Does it matter what MA setting i use, ie 100, 200, 300, 400 etc. I didnt want to set it to high and damage the battery. I got the calculator thing and in the MA box i put 200 MA and in the the MAH i put 1100 because its an 1100mah battery. It came up as 7 hours 42 minutes. Does this sound about right?

[Boo-Sabum Ben]

Yes. Typically, the lower setting, the slower charge, but safer. If you crank it up as high as it goes every charge, you will wear the battery out much faster.

About 7 hours sounds right. It doesn't take about 10 minutes to charge a battery sadly

Id always rather charge it slower and longer rather than trying to rush it. i just wanted to know What MA setting is safe and how long to leave it on that for. What is the highest Ma setting you would ever really use safely? I have the calculator thingy now so all i have to do is put the MA setting in and it will give me the time it takes to charge it.

mine goes from 1A to 3A, but i always leave it on 1A and charge the day and night before a gameday

Re: charging a 9.6v 1100mah battery

cool. My charger goes from 50 MA up to 600MA and has time setting from 0.5h to 8h. So basically if i always charge it using 200MA for about 7 hours 45 minutes that should be fine?
