Nimh battery pack charger

[offroadrcguy]

I have a 6v nimh 5 cell battery pack an have been charging it with an old nicd charger from tower hobbies. Can I charge a nimh on a nicd charger?
I also left the battery pack plugged in to the truck for a very long time around few months. did this damage the battery pack?

thanks

You shouldn't charge NiMHs with a NiCd charger. Don't you have a multi-chemistry aka a modern RC charger?
Also, it's probably dead after a few months. Maybe upgrade to something more modern like a LiFePo or whatever's in fashion for receiver packs nowadays?

I'm running something like this but 3000mah. Imo 3000 is too much, I do also own a battery like the one from this link and it's enough for about 5 tanks on a savage 4.6

the charge of a nicd has a lower delta peak than the nimh.you can do it but I think youll find you just dont get the extra oomf outa that battery

Buy a HOTA D6Pro multi chemistry charger imo

If power switch for the truck was off, and the battery wasn't run completely down, it should be ok.

If you *only* need to charge your nimh pack, I think an "imax B6" would be more than enough for your needs, covers 95% of batteries out there, is very affordable.
