RE: [RCSE] Charging NiMh's with Sirius Pro Charger?
Hi Guys, For the record, The Sirius Pro-Series will NOT false peak with either NiCd or NiMH. Fasle peaking is not the problem, it is that they could be overcharged because of the almost linear "curve". The larger the battery the flatter the "curve". The computer chip is designed for both and it is the best charging chip on the market. Many users are charging beyond what we will warrant for company policy (270 to 1200 NiMh) and I have been told that they are getting good results.

Re: [RCSE] Battery deals?
Yes, many of the batteries on this site: http://www.igo.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ExecMacro/main.d2w/report?page=closeout# 8 ...can be used for our hobby. There are some good prices, too. Remember that all that is needed is a proper voltage and a sufficiently large amp hour rating. Thus, all the 4.8V, 6V and 9.6V are possible candidates. However, the batteries listed are for camcorders, cellphones, etc... To use them will require breaking off a plastic case and soldering on some leads and an appropriate plug. Not difficult but time consuming. There were several 12V sealed lead acid batteries that caught my eye. The chargers listed don't seem very useful for us. But, the site doesn't give sufficient information to know for sure. Bill Swingle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Janesville, CA RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Thermal expansion of lead!!
People who cast a lot of lead(as in bullets) will tell you that a 10lb pot can be emptied explosively by a drop or two of water. I have never had this experience due to extreme caution, but I have heard of a drop of sweat causing it. Among bullet casters "no water" is rule #1 in the manual. Lead will stick to whatever it hits and continue to burn til it cools. I used to cast bullets by the hundreds before changing interests. Brice RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Charging NiMh's with Sirius Pro Charger?
The charging chip in the Sirius chargers was made to do NiMH as well as NiCd cells. This chip is the best one available for charging cells that are used at low currents like RX and TX batteries. It has a much more sophisticated algorithm than any other charger chip. It stops just before the peak and then does a "top off" charge. Much better for NiMH than a peak detect.

SV: [RCSE] Thermal expansion of lead!!
I used to work at a plaace where we were melting iron. And we had a oven that was submerged down in the floor. This made it easy to put more metal in the oven. The whole unit could be rised and tilted for getting the 1000Degr. celsius iron out of the oven. When one stood beside it, one could throw a cup of coffe down and nothing happened, (except for alot of steam comming up). The cofee vaporized on the surface. The problem was when using iron that was rusty or wet. When this was put into the oven, the water got below the melted iron surface, and the vaporize. This useually ended 2 ways. Either it came a good poff sound and sparckles were raining for 10 seconds (really cool). Or, if it was alot of water ore the water came deep before vaporizing, one would hear a 4Xshotgun noise, and really BIG sparcks would come down for around 30seconds. Good laugh for us that stood behind the bullet-proof window though. Never got used to standing next to the oven when that happened. :)) Cheers Kjelli - Original Message - From: Sam Cardinal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2001 4:12 PM Subject: Re: [RCSE] Thermal expansion of lead!! > I'm afraid I must differ with you, having had a 10 lb. pot of lead > eject its contents when two or three drops of coffee landed in it.

Re: [RCSE] Charging NiMh's with Sirius Pro Charger?
For the record, I've been charging my tx 1600ma. NiMh pack off my Sirius Pro for about 8 months now and have had no problems at all. I gotten *much* longer run times from it than from my 1100 ma.

RE: [RCSE] Charging NiMh's with Sirius Pro Charger?
Almost all fast chargers, including the Sirius, are capable of false peaks, on any battery type. The Alpha 4 may be as reliable for NiMh as it is said to be for NiCd, but it would not be fully automatic, it would switch from fast charge to a very high trickle. For rx packs then, I just bring several to swap out at the field. For all other charging needs, the Dymond Super Smart or FMA SuperNova will do.

RCSE'rs, I'm currently using a Sirius Pro Charger for my NiCd batteries and I'm looking to get some new NiMh's: http://www.siriuselectronics.com/pro_ser.htm I've been looking around on the web, and it seems that most fast changers (Sirius included) were designed for NiCd batteries, and that NiMh's have a different charging curve which can cause quick chargers to damage the batteries.

Re: [RCSE] Charging NiMh's with Sirius Pro Charger?
I asked the same question directly to Peak Electronics, maker of Sirius chargers. George Joy's response was that the Pro-Series will do 270 to 1200 NiMH packs. Peak does not recommend going beyond 1200mAH. Tom Gressman/Denver RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
