Hi
I have spent the morning 'renovating' an old RC car for a friend, nothing too fancy just better wiring ect. Once I had finished all of that I had to charge the battery pack to see if it was going any better. However, I found that the charger was no good, long burnt out!!
My question is:
How do I charge Ni Cds?
The pack that I am using is 5 AA NiCds in parallel giving 6v @ 900mAh. Can I just give it a constant current (say 0.5C) at a certain voltage for a while, or is it more complicated than this.
Thanks
Tom
