Hi

Can anyone help with a query on Transmitter battery charging?

I have one Tx with a 1400mah battery made up of sub C cells and one with a 1400mah battery made up of AA cells. Using the formula with the charger instructions I charge for 14 hours at 140 mA.

Is this right? I would expect the sub C’s to take longer?

Thanks

The charging rate is related to the capacity of the battery and not to its physical size. If both packs are 1400mah then they will require identical charging times.

Hi Tim,

Charging time/current is governed by the ELECTRICAL size of the battery ie 1400mAh

not the physical size. If both batteries are 1400mAh then the charge rate and time will be the same.
