Re: battey charger cirucuts HELP?
I do not understand your diagram at all. Could you try explaining it a different way?

I think he means he wired in series, then just attached it straight to a charger.

So this charger... describe it...
A lot of chargers work on a certain number of cells and you cant change that number. If it charges one battery it probably will not charge two in series. It could charge them in parallel half as fast.

Re: battey charger cirucuts HELP?
Do you have a protection circuit on them, if not than I recommend not charging them, they have to go through a protection circuit first.

If you don't have a protection circuit like thewise1 said, you risk overcharging your batteries and possibly having them explode.z2442/joey wrote:its a smart charger and hey thanx ill wire them paraell thats what i was asking about

nah there nicd
Re: battey charger cirucuts HELP?
Wow. Okay first, if you have a smart charger you don't need a protection circuit TO CHARGE. It's risky to use it for power if you don't. Secondly, if you have NiXX batteries none of this applies.

Just take a DP-DT switch and wire it according to this thread.
