Ya. They get my thumbs-up as well.  I have a couple in my TX's and I love them. Much more reliable than the original batteries that came with the TX.

Re: charging transmitter I do mine at a C/10 ( 1/10th of battery capacity for newbies) on my Alpha 4 as recommended by them. A fast charge on NiCad or Nimh is pushing it , even though some say ok. At least it works for me and happy with it. |

Re: charging transmitter Len Eneloop batteries are good batteries. I have two 6volt RX packs 2000 MAH and two TX 4.8 volt packs 2000 MAH. They hold their charge well. I charge these packs 0.45 Amps peak sensitivity 5mv per cell. |

Re: charging transmitter Oopds your right, Max... about the temp I misread it. sorry. |

Re: charging transmitter Today ( meaning the last few years) Most chargers are designed to taper their charging rate down as the voltage rises in the battery pack. Some chargers as you mentioned , have the probe sensor to basically do a similar job. Myself , I prefer that the charger reads the voltage and tapers rather than depend on another circuit to finish doing the job. All in the design of the charger and how the program is set. 28C charge seems kind of high to me or was that finger problems needing a period between 2 and the 8. If not your are saying that the 800mah is being charged at 22.4 amps... that would blow the ends out in a minute.... |

Re: charging transmitter Ok but I have never charged a nimh 800mah or above at 200-500 and had it get hot. I guess the cheap Chinese chargers know when to peak. I agree heat is the enemy of NIMH for sure. Some of the cheap chargers even have a lead to check temperature and a temperature cutoff seting. Never cutoff on me. I seem to recall 28C or so as highest. |

Re: charging transmitter Agree with Earl... heat does NO GOOD for either Nicads or Nimh batteries . They should be no more than slightly warm to the touch when reaching full charge.... not hot but barely warm. This why when assembling battery packs ; spot welding is the way to go as too much damage is done when trying to solder together. |

Re: charging transmitter My experience has been that you get a better charge on AA packs at the lower mA values, say under 100 mA. I question any charge method that heats packs up significantly.....intuitively I can't see that being good for the cells in the long run. Earl "Narly1" Anderson |

Re: charging transmitter Thanks to all for the input but I think I like Max and kip51035 answers the best as they answered my question so I understand it. |
