Ni-MH charge time

I have just bought some 3000 rechargable batteries on ebay.
I have a plug in charger which will charge 4 at a time....
Output current 0.4v     charge current  AA - 2x(2.8v===70mA)
so how long do I need to charge them
( the four batteries are located as 2 charging circuits...). ie. if you only want to charge two batteries. you put them in one half  
Charger is an older version of this one...

No way of knowing if you don't state the battery type and capacity.  Grin

Thanks for the linky !....
assume the 3000 stands for 3000mA... so I put that in the calculator, with the charge rate at  70mA.... RESULT !..... 64 hours charging time !... Cheesy

Re: Ni-MH charge time

If the batteries can take it, a rapid charger is so much better. My 2500s do in half an hour.

Not particularly worried about the length of time to actually charge... as I have others I can use ..... just wanted to know when they would be ready for use....
Might think about a rapid charger for Christmas or Birthday... !... Wink

Are you going to use all 3000 batteries in place of your car battery?
