Battery/Charger

[adazrambo]

Hi Guys.

I recently bought an M4 with Battery set (8.4v 1600mah) and unsure as to how long I should charge for? Have attached pic of charger as it has an led that seems stuck on red when charging the battery. Unsure if this is some form of indicator?

Thanks

looks to me like a vapex smart charger that should be ok

 

smart chargers turn off when charging is complete to avoid

cooking the battery

 

I say it looks - looks very similar to vapex smart charger

google some pics and you will see

 

if so then just leave it and it should go green after say 2hrs or so

 

or invest in a good fire extinguisher - lol

 

NEVER JUST LEAVE A BATTERY CHARGING - DEFFO NOT ON BED OR CARPET

 

shove it on say a worktop on old table - coz they can get warm and don't pop out up the road

use common sense and keep checking any battery on any charger at regular intervals

 

but looks like smart charger rather than $hit cheapo battery cooker psu

3 hours 45 minutes if the battery is empty. (1600 / 600 * 1,4)

I don't know the charger. If it is smart, then it should turn green or something like that. If not, disconnect after 3 hours 45 minutes.
