I bought a Triton battery Charger off Ebay and recieved it yesterday.
It requires 10-15 volts at 13 amps to fuction properly.
I attempted using an old computer power supply, but aparently it didn't have enough juice.
So, today I bought a Radio Shack 12v 15A supply.
I hook up my batteries (a set of 16 NiMH cells in series). I press the charge button and the display tells me its puting 40 volts and 1 amp into the batteries. It does the same on Auto or a pre set variables.
Well, the batteries dont get too hot, but within seconds, the battery holds I am using are deforming. I found that the parts that are getting how are the springs in the holders and they are pushing up through the plastic because the the heat and spring tension.
What am I doing wrong? Should I try and build a better battery pack without using the spring loaded holders? Has anyone else used the Triton Charger?
Thanks!
