Using a Timed Charger

While it's easier to charge NiCad's with a peak charger, it is possible to charge your NiCad's with a basic timed charger. Even higher capacity packs can be charged using the following procedure. However, do not use the following procedure with NiMH packs. It will damage them.

• Before charging feel the temperature of the battery pack, it should be at room temperature.
  
  
• Start your charger and check the temperature of your pack every 3-5 minutes.
  
  
• If the pack still feels cool continue charging, you may have to start the timer again on higher Mah packs.
  
  
• If you have to start the timer again check the pack temperature every couple of minutes.
  
  
• When the pack becomes warm, disconnect it from the charger.
