Question about Transmitter batteries - 01.23.2006, 03:05 AM

I recently swapped my batterise in my transmitter to nimh AA, they are energizer 2300's and duracell 2050's. I have an old transmitter battery tray and can charge them on my charger for my rc cars. my question is; What is a safe amperage to charge them with? The chargers are Duratrax piranna digital chargers and are capable of up to 3.0 amps on a/c and 5.0 on d/c. I know i can't charge at full power but i can charge my reciever packs at 1.0 amp safely. Can i charge the transmitter batteries at 1.0 to 2.0 amps safely? or should i just use the charger i got with them(duracell charger) thanks in advance.


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

Toss them on the Piranha, just don't go above 1 amp and they'll be fine. I personally run the Energizer 2500's in my MX-3 and a 1 amp charge will last at least 3 weeks.

I have done 1 amp with no problems as well. Seems to work very well
