    With my basic Bol brand charger I've never been able to
    tell how fast or how much "A's" that you can charge the batteries at,

    For my standard 8.4v NiMh mini type I've charged at
    0.5 to 1.0 A

    For my Larger type NiMh I've never gone beyond 2A
    even thought I've heard you can charge at under 4A.
    At 2A charge they get warm to mildly hot while charging
    so did not want to attempt any higher.

    With Ni-Cads I've not had much luck,
    My Charger would not speed charge them it would
    only trickle charge them at 0.5A any attempt at charging
    faster would not work. Also I've had 2 batteries that are Ni-Cads that would just not charge at all.

    The Chart that came with my charger does not make much
    sense to me, I only know Large and Small type Nimh
    and Large Ni-Cads but dont know the other Jargon involved
    with Batts

    Could someone take a look at attached pic
    and comment on what Battery is What in Laymans terms??? Not sure about the different model types.

    Can anyone explain what the Battery model numbers are?
    Whats RC, IB, KR, HR, GP etc etc.....
