if that is the case, then good to go when I get home later. My concern there was if connecing a positive and a negative lead from 2 separate chargers to the same location could damage the charger or the battery or cause a short circuit somehow.
Ok, so I got the new good charger today before I left for work. In the manual it tells me:
Setting the Delta Peak Sensitivity setting can range from 5 to 20mV per cell, the default is 7mV for NiMH, the parameters are set individually for NiMh batteries. If the cutoff voltage is too high, there is a danger of overcharging the battery, if it is too low there is a possibility of premature charge termination.
Each stick is 7.2v with 6 cells of 1.2v per cell. What parameter do I input for this delta peak?
For waste time settings, how much time between cycles do I want the charger to wait before it starts the next cycle?
For safety timer settings, it is telling me to divide the capacity by the current, and then divide the result by 11.9. Set the results of this calculation as the number of minutes for the safety timer setting. If the charger stops at this time threshold, about 140% of the capacity will have been fed into the battery.
Now my question is this, specs tell me my 144v pack is rated for 6000, does that also mean that each stick is rated for 6000? Forgive me if my question makes me out to be a clown.....
Finally the last setting I am unsure about is this:
Capacity Cutoff Setting The charging software allows the user to create a maximum charge capacity protection setting. If the delta-peak voltage is not properly detected or the safety timer times out, the charge process will stop automatically when the battery reaches the set maximum charge capacity set by the user.
Here, should I set the capacity cutoff at 6000mAh?
This charger comes with computer software that tracks and logs everything, so that should hopefully provide good data to go on.
