Can I charge batteries with different mAH?

No. Modern chargers charge and monitor each battery separately. Different maH does not matter here as each cell takes as long as it needs and turns off when full. If you have an RC battery pack where the cells are in series you need to use cells that are matched well, i.e. same age, rating, manufacturer.

Is trickle charging bad for NiMH?

Although a trickle charger might not make your batteries warm, it is still hurting your batteries. NiMH is the most sensitive chemistry to overcharge, and as you can read above, it is practically impossible not to overcharge NiMH with a trickle charge. Re: Fast charge those NiMH batts!! Never trickle charge.

What happens if you mix batteries?

A: As chemistries and voltage vary across both battery types and brands, we recommend that you do not mix batteries. Mixing of cells can result in battery leakage and sub-optimal device performance.

Can NiMH batteries be charged slowly?

Accordingly slow charging NiMH batteries and cells is not to be recommended. Many modern NiMH chargers combine the three main methods of end of charge detection, NDV, temperature rise detection and then using a timer as a last ditch end of charge termination in case the other effects are masked or pass undetected.

What is the difference between alkaline batteries and NiMH batteries?

The main difference is that an alkaline battery starts at 1.5 volts and gradually drops to less than 1.0 volts. NiMH batteries stay at about 1.2 volts for almost 80\% of their discharge cycle.

Can I use a Ni-MH battery charger to charge a AAA battery?

Can I use a 1.5 v or .15A x 4 (AAA) output Ni-Mh battery charger to charge 1.2 v 1600 mAh AAA Ni-mH rechargeable batteries? Probably. The important thing to understand is that the “nominal” voltage of a battery is just a sort of average or typical voltage, usually during discharge.

What is the difference between a NIMH and a NiCd Charger?

A NiMH charger can also charge NiCd; a NiCd charger would overcharge NiMH. As NiMH cells are more sensitive to the way they are charge when compared to other forms of rechargeable battery, care needs to be taken to adopt the correct NiMH charger and also to use it properly.
