There was a thread about charging but I cannot find it, anyone know the thread link please

thecivvie · 17-04-2007 8:55pm

I am talking bout the ratio of charge amps to volts or whatever. I need to work out how long to charge a 1300mah with a 250ma charger

good thread on arnieshere, but forums appears down at the mo (as usual :mad: )

Im almost certain its:

battery mAh / charger mAh * 1.4

I actually downloaded the battery calculator from Arnie's ages ago. It should be attached to this message for anyone who needs it. Hope it helps.

tcob1: it will run fine under wine, just download the file MSVBVM60.dll and put it in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system once you have wine installed and it will work

kdouglas · 18-04-2007 1:32pm

<----turns dial on charger to 3800, plugs it in, and comes back when the green light goes out.

Can't beat those chargers that turn themselves off after the battery is fully charged.

Working, never thought of wine at first

Wow handy to have one that turns off mine just does loops of charging and discharging until you get sick of the beep after the first loop

I have an auto cut out charger (TLP 4000c) that trickle charges when done but there is either faast charge or "slow charge" which is really trickle. And it beeps....every 5 sec..high pitched....long distance...beeps!:mad: *throwes the ton weight thing at wall...no damage incured: Sturdy!
