Battery charging time
Hi everyone,
My question is this : how long do I have to charge my AEG battery? I have just receive a A47-03 Dragunov (first "real" airsoft) and the manual do not specify how much time I need to charge it. I know that the first time is always longer but I have no idea how long... The battery is a 8.4v 1100mAh Hyper Command Battery Thanks! |

Yeah i'm using the default battery... for now
There's no useful information on the adapter. I've check on the battery and it's saying the standard charge time is 14-15 hrs (110mA) and the fast charging is 2-2.5 hrs (550mA). I'm not sure I understand. Is the standard charge is the time for the first charge? I'm confuse... |

think that means for a good charger. Get yourself a decent charger or else you'll just kill your battery.

Should only need about 2 hours on the fast charge mode. Thats what I would do. like 2 hours 15 minutes on the fast charge.

standard charge is at the 110mah rate which would imply you have a charger that has 2 settings which I doubt you have so the charge time is most likely 14-15 hours all the time for a full charge. invest in a good charger. airsoftparts.ca |

fast charge for me is 15-20ish minutes. but that's hammering the battery at 4+ amps. |

Out of curiosity, does anyone have or know of a tried & true battery charging formula?
This is the formula I found and have been using since forever, but maybe it's totally out to lunch and I'm under-charging my batteries: Ni-Cd = Battery Capacity (/) Charger Output (X) 1.4 hours Ni-Mh = Battery Capacity (/) Charger Output (X) 1.5 hours Any news?

If I *have* to calculate it:
Battery Mah / Charge Rate * 1.2 (80% efficiency, typical Ni-Mah). Or just charge it till it gets warm.
