Title: diy charger???
Post by: Krispy D on February 06, 2006, 07:23:28 PM

so I have a couple of 9.6v rc batts but no charger...

can I feed it 9v via a 1000mA ua5 wall wort AC adapter and just pull it after 4 hours or so?  the battery says quick charge with 1200 mA for 3.0 hours or regular charge with 600 mA for 6.5 hours.  is this gonna kill one of my batteries?  I'm gonna grab a smart charger but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Dunno if you are handy with electronics but you can get chips that are complete chargers with very few extra parts.
Check out http://www.maxim-ic.com/ for example.
