Can I use the MH-C204W battery charger to charge 1800 mah rechargeable Batteries? The literature that came with it said not to use the MH-C204W to charge rechargeable batteries less than 2000mAh. |
| |
You can charge the 1800mAh rechargeable batteries just fine in the MH-C204W battery charger if you charge 4 batteries at a time. Actually the instructions say not to charge any rechargeable batteries that are less than 2000mAh when charging 2 rechargeable batteries only. If you only charge 2 AA rechargeable batteries at a time then the batteries must be at least 2000mAh or higher to prevent any damage to the batteries. |
|
|
Do the rechargeable batteries get warm while charging? |
| |
Yes, rechargeable batteries will get warm while charging and this is normal. More heat may be noticed when you are charging 2 batteries rather than four due to the higher charge rate. Some of the heat you may notice during charging is actually from the built-in power supply. However the MH-C204W battery charger has a built-in temperature termination sensor similiar to the MH-C401FS battery charger that monitors your rechargeable batteries and makes sure that they are charged safely and completely .
**Please note that there are some other brands of battery chargers on the market that boost cool charging. Naturally your batteries will stay cool if they are only charged to 80 percent of their rated capacity. In other words if you were charging 2200 mAh batteries with these other so called cool chargers, and they were only charging to 80 percent your batteries rated capapcity, your rechargeable batteries would be charging up with an average capacity of 1760 mAh - you would be loosing 440 mAh of your rechargeable batteries rated capacity and naturally your rechargeable batteries could fail due to the inefficient charging. |
