Just a quick question...
i have a single 3600mAh NiMH battery ment for a 1/10 EP car/buggy/truck that i got for my glowplug igniter, how many amps should i charge it at ? and what peak sensitivity should i set it to ?

Oh....I Missed that Sorry!

tried it at 900mAh, and it vented

. then voltage went down to .5V within 10 minutes. i think i fried it already. and it was a $15 cell

.
sooooooo, what now ? thats stupid though. my AA 2300's took 1A before and didnt vent. got warm-hot though

. and i still use them today and they hold a charge well.

I would be careful using that for your glow ignitor, I blew out two plugs trying to do that last weekend!!

Kind of embarrasing going to the hobby store to buy a plug just 20 mins after buying the last one. Figured it out eventually though.....

Stick with the D-cell or get a hobby power panel to hook a bigger battery through. Just some advice!!
