Um, so yea i've been out of the hobby for a while and i wanted to charge up the bats on my micro rs4 and the aa's in my transmittiter.

Both are Ni-Mh's, what amp/cutoff should i use for AA's, and what setting do i use for the ... forgot what the name is, its not sub C, maybe its half A? its a saddle pack so whatever that size is for a micro rs4?

For AA used in TX or RX I use the Trickle charger for radio system - take between 12-16 hours. It can charge both Nicad and NIMH 5cell receiver packs in N50 Nicads to 4AA cells. When I do have to fast charge I use between .05 to .50 amps with a .01mv detect setting. For micro packs it kinda depend on the results you need whether bashing or racing competitively with the 2/3 or 1/2 AA again use .50 - 3amp rates with a .01 to .03 detect setting varying the amperage rate and detect setting depending on temperature when pack peaks (135 to 145 is about average for racing).
