What is a good charge current for the Honeybee stock Nimh packs? I just purchased a Hyperion AC/DC EOS0606iAD-B charger and now I want to be kind to my packs.

I also purchased 4 Common Sense 7.4v 800mah Lipo packs. I'm going to get to know the charger with the Nimh packs then get familiar with balance charging the Lipos.

Thanks for any guidance you guys can give. Nuttcaze you got me started with the excellent youtube videos on the Honeybee, thanks a lot! I'm having a ball.

Curt

I'm itching to hookup my pack but concerned about what amp rate to charge at.

Can anyone give me a rough starting point?

Thanks, Curt

Nuttcaze is probably the best one for that info. I'm sure he will chime in on it before too long.

I decided to try the rate that is listed on the charger that comes with the HBFP, 300ma. So far so good. It's been about 25 min. and nothing bad has happened yet. I'll post how long the full charge takes.

THE LIPO should charge at a rate 1amp per 1000mah - .8 amps for your 800 mah :chaplin: = VIC
