What voltage should i discharge the batteries to before i start to recharge them :?:  :?:

0.9 amps per cell X 6 = 5.4 amps in total  :wink:

0.9 volts per cell - 5.4 volts for a 6 cell pack......... :-)

oops.
Sorry
Meant to say Volts  :oops:

Started to charge up my packs last night(3300mah), and on one off them my charger stopped at approx 2800mah. I discharged it to 5.4volts using the discharge facility and then put it on charge at about 4 amps and it stopped at 2800mah, is there anything i can do to get more in to them. I have 2 fans from computers cooling the batts while charging. Any help appreciated :?:  I see others saying they can get 3500mah in a 3300mah pack and i wonder am i doing something wrong or is it the charger :?:  
rgds lee.

I have 2 sets of 3300 and im getting 3500-3600 in them,all i do is put them on the discharger at 0.1then charge them at 5.5. i only put them on 0.1 once a month every other week its 0.9 to discharge them.. :wink:  :twisted:

maybe i am discharging them too quick and not charging at a high enough rate. I will try it tonight, cheers Gav.  8)

Just dont seem to be able to get more than 2800-2950 in them after discharging to 5.4volts.  :?  :? will it improve after a few discharges and charges as i think they are older batteries anyway :?:

Dont take any notice of that
It sounds quite normal.what charger are you using?
Remember
You only use around 1800 for a 5 minute race anyway I think. :wink:

its a Prolux Digipeak Charger/Discharger.
