Can you give me an estimate how long this takes to charge batteries? Say a 7.2v 1600mAh NiMH or a 7.2v 3200mAh LiPO

I can't tell you exactly, because I use it for 11.1 volt 3S LiPo's; one is a 2100 mAh, the others are 1300 mAh. In my case, I'd estimate an average charge time of 1/2 hour for the smaller, under an hour for the larger.

This charger's max charge rate is listed at 5.0 A (5000mA). From here you just do the math... mAh = milliAmphours. If your battery is a 1600mAh capacity, that means you can run an electronic device drawing 1600mAh for 1 hour before your battery is exhausted. The same thing applies to charging. If you want to charge your 1600mAh battery at the 5000mA rate, it would be 1600/5000 = 0.32 * 60 minutes = 19.2 minutes total charging time.For your 3200mAh battery, it would be 38.4 minutes.Hope that helps!

The charging current is 400mA when charging 2 cells in series, 800mA when charging 4 cells. That means a pair of 2000mAh batteries will take ~5 hours to charge (2000mAh / 400mA = 5hr). It does not matter if the power source is rated 1A or 2A. You cannot charge any faster.

It works fine with NiMH batteries. Just charged my NiMH today. Not sure where is was written, I use this charger with a NiMH battery, it works fine.

If one battery is depleted more than the other, it will only charge until the least depleted battery is fully charged. Also. rechargable batteries do not last forever. NiMH are better than some others though. I believe this charger only charges NiMH rechargables.

Depends on how long you have had the battery and if you have damaged it or properly installed it when building your model. However I would recommend charging it for 30minutes if its low on charge and an 1 or more if you almost depleted it. However please charge the battery in a lipo lithium bag, because in some cases during charging if overcharged or any thing goes wrong within the battery cells the battery itself may overheat and catch fire. Please never charge it without supervision always monitor it and unplug it if not in use.

Any charger as far as I know that says it charges NiMH Batteries. I have used about 4 different charges for them and other rechargeable batteries and if the specified NiMH all was good! Anybody that does not use rechargeable batteries now a days is crazy! One thing to look at is the mah rating for the battery, for triple A batteries I use 1000mah or above and double A batteries about 2600mah or higher.

This is not a charger.it is an adapter that allows you to charge 2 lipo batteries at once with a lipo charger.if you buy a decent lipo fast charger it usually takes 30 to 90 minutes depending on battery and charger.

Depending on the battery condition the charger may take more than 7 hours. The last amount is at low current to fully charge.

Would you please define the stock charger? This is a 6 amp charger, if you are using a LiPo battery this will charge quickly. It charges my 8400 3s LiPo in about 85 minutes, pretty fast. If you are using a Nimh battery it will probably charge a bit faster than normal, but it depends on the capacity of the battery. Hope this helps!

If you still want to know, buy any brand lipo battery that is 1 cell,3.7 volts, 380 mah. or less. You might need to modify the connectors, but it will work better. If you want any additional power, get a 2 cell 7.4 volts, 180 mah.

4 AA 2500mAh batteries in 5 hours so 4 x2000 in 4 hours or 500 ma per hour. Won't make any difference what your charging source is, it only draws 500 ma

Yes it will work, but if you have brushless (Velineon) setup, I would highly recommend LiPo batteries instead of NiMH.

I run it on 2000mAH LiPOs (careful, there is no LiPo low-voltage cut off circuitry) and I get a solid 20 minutes. The original 1600mAH NiMH Duratrax battery I bought with it was closer to about 15 minutes.Yes, 2 batteries is a must.

I use the Energizer 4 slot charger that came with the 2500mAh NiMh batteries I bought some years ago, those batteries stopped working after a time but the charger still worked. Its a slow charger that takes 8 hours plus to charge the Amazon basic 2000mAh. I know you cannot use a fast charger with the amazon NiMh batteries, but any charger designed for NiMh regular batt's should work. These Amazon batt's hold their charge well. I use them in a manual speedlight.

Probly will work but I'm not familiar with that model. Get the charger that goes with the NiMH batts tho. I use the dual 1hr rapid firestorm charger. Goes from 9.6 up to 24 volts. NiCD and NiMH batteries.

If not using a smart charger like the Tenergy Smart Universal Charger for NiMH / NiCd Battery pack 7.2V - 12V with charging current Selection/Temperature Sensor then you calculate charge time by taking the capacity of the pack (1600 mAh) and divide it by the output of your charger. Battery Capacity (mAh) / Charger Output (mAh) = total charging time.

My current charger (output of 600 mAh) charges my battery in about 3 to 3.5 hours; this charger has an output of 350 mAh, therefore I would expect this charger to completely charge your battery in about 5.5 hours.
