Question Charger question

Is it safe to charge NiMH on NiCD only chargers?

No it´s not safe... Thats why they make NIMH chargers

The charger uses different kinds of "detection" when the charge is ready and so on.....

So dont do that

I'm assuming you plan to use a 1:10 scale peak charger. (Novak, Tekin, Apex)

You must be VERY careful, or you'll damage the batteries. The charger will likely not shut off when the batteries peak, so watch the voltage. As soon as it starts dropping, take them off. Another sign of a full charge is that the batteries will be a bit warm. I tried using my Tekin BC110L, but it false peaks after about 5mins, so I got fed up and am now using a conventional 1hour NiMh charger that plugs into a wall.

Good Luck!
