I know most everyone is using Lipo's and I have lots for my airplanes but just starting out with 4600 and 5000 Nimh 6cell packs for my Fastech and SuperVee 27.... with lipos on the way.
I know we abuse these (Nimh's) pretty much but is there a good write up on the care and feeding, charging and discharging of Nimh batteries ? The Intell 5000 packs say charge at 6 amps and get them warm before running. How much charge should we leave in them between weekends ? Should I cycle them a few times before use as I have always heard ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
