Help with charger settings?

[Minty Fresh]

Just got a Piranha Peak Charger....and I was wondering what Current, and Peak settings to set it at....for the 1100mah NiMH pack from my RC18T?

Nevermind....went ahead and did 1.5 for the current, and 10 for the Peak. Should be good.

Yeah you should worry about it. The peak(aka threshold) is the point at which the charger ends the charge. Set that to 3. Any higher your sensitive NiMH cells may vent. Current is how fast it charges. Performance minded guys use this to vary the voltage/run time they can get out of a pack. 1.5 is perfect for your pack.

Safety is the most important aspect here - I almost broke my arm from an exploding cell that someone inncorrectly charged.
