(Arghh!) said in
rec.radio.scanner:
Since all scanners that take 'AA' rechargeable batteries are designed
to safley charge 700ma nicads in about 11-14 hours. There is an
internal circuit in the scanner that drops the charger's current down
to about 60-80 milliamps or so.
From the Pro-95 manual:
"Battery Charge Current.......... 150 mA"
Safe for 1500 mAh cells and above - *IF* you limit the charge to 16
hours or a fast temperature rise, whichever comes first.
