Hey guys i have been wondering this for a long time now what does trickle charge do?? thanks

It charges at 100 ma. ie .1 amps, so a 2400 will charge in 24 hours.

Trickle charging , is basically a low amperage charge. For some low end chargers. like for radio packs etc, it's the only way they will charge. On some high end chargers, it is used to maintain charge of nicads after they've peaked, until it's time to race. I don't think it's advisable with nmh batts though. Joe
