Title: Beginner's Question
Post by: Awfa3 on August 11, 2009, 04:03:34 PM

How do you recharge a 6v NimH Battery Pack like this one? ->http://www.robotshop.us/lynxmotion-bat-03-battery-3.html (http://www.robotshop.us/lynxmotion-bat-03-battery-3.html) I'm beginning and before I buy anything, I'm getting my questions cleared.

look for a charger for that battery ;)
most chargers made for 6v nimh will work.
for high end, something like this: http://www.robotshop.us/multiplex-ln-5014-charger-1.html
but most will do, look around for some.

Duratrax's Onyx line of chargers have some great features compared to those chargers that only have a switch and some LEDs  :o

I avoid shopping for non-robot parts such as batteries and chargers at robotic sites. Pretty much every robot site I have seen do not have good deals on batteries and chargers. Don't limit yourself to buying parts at just robot sites!
