chalky · 2007-02-21 19:57:37

How long should I charge the battery for my CM030? (first time charge and normal charge) I've read through all the instructions and couldn't find it anywhere. Its a 7.2V 450mA battery Thanks

Multiply your battery's mAh by 1.4 then divide the result by your chargers mA rating(100 in this example) for total hours.

E.G.

600 mAh * 1.4 = 840
840/100 = 8.4
Charge time 8.4 hours.

Most charges now will stop charging when complete but Fiachs formula is pretty handy.
