unisol Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Hello. I'm totally new to airsoft and have just purchased my 1st gun, an ares g36c. I've got a set of 9.6v 1600 mah crane batteries and I'm hoping I can see an old charger I have leftover from an old rc Helicopter set. The charger is a ripmax pro peak ac dc delta peak fast charger. The output info on the front says: Fast 7.2 - 8.4v 3.5ah (ac /dc ) Trickle 7.2v - 8.4v 130mah (ac/dc) 7.2v - 9.6v 130mah (ac only) I'm a little unsure. Can I use this charger without damaging anything? Any help would be great thanks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent7Sniper7 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 It should be fine, use this formula to find out how long to charge the battery. Battery MaH divide by the chargers output MaH multiplied by 1.4 give you the time in hours. E.g. 500/200x1.4=3.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unisol Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Sorry back again. Using the formula would mine be... 1600 ÷ 130 x 1.4 ???? Seems to be wrong? Or do I..... 160 ÷ 130 x 1.4 Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Richard65 Posted September 30, 2012 Supporters Share Posted September 30, 2012 Sorry back again. Using the formula would mine be... 1600 ÷ 130 x 1.4 ???? Seems to be wrong? Or do I..... 160 ÷ 130 x 1.4 Thanks. The 1600/130x1.4 is correct. Your trickle charge at 130mah looks very low whist the fast charge looks very high (probably too high for a 1600 battery. This link is for a charger of 500mah and will give you an idea of the charge times. http://www.component-shop.co.uk/html/vte500p.html Hope this helps.
