Question related to the Redcat Charger?

[Yannik69]

Hi,
I have a question about the "Redcat Rampage Stock Charger". I used it last night in order to charge my original "NI-MH 2500 mAh 6V battery" although I noticed after leaving it to charge all night (12-14 hrs approx) that the "Red Light" was still on! I don't know if it's normal or not and if the red light was suppose to shut off?
Thanks in advance,
Yannik

No it doesn't switch off.
6 hrs is a normal charge.
You're better off with a peak charger.
They will switch to trickle and the light will turn green when the battery is fully charged.

Thank you Phil. Do you think it damaged the battery?

I doubt it.
You can use a cheap timer and set it for 6 hrs if you're worried

I have two great charger, a Onyx 220 and another although I wanted to try the stock one thinking it would work great, my mistake!
