I bought 48 ip 3800 cells to make up some 12 cell packs i have soldered the cells together using the new method using the hammer head tip and 80 watt iron and soldering the cells directly together instead of using battery bars i was told for the first charge to charge at .3 amp to equalize the pack. Do i have to also discharge the pack at .3 amp? What charge rates should i be charging at for racing situations? IS there any new books on nimh batteries ? I still have an Astro Flight 110D nicd charger that filled my rec room with throphy's back in the 90's would this charge my 3800's instead of me burning my brain cells on the Triton? any info would be great.
