Battery Charging

[chuckw2]

Will it hurt my Ni-MH batteries if I charge them when they are only half discharged?

How long on the average, will one set of these batteries run an FX3?

Overcharging is probably a bigger risk to your ni-mh batteries than partial charging.Still its probably best to fully discharge your batteries before charging.

Thanks ballistic64, I did not know that you could over charge them...

No problem Chuck,I believe the rechargeable NiCD batteries are the ones that suffer more from memory problems from partial charging.
