Uniross 2300 Ni-mh And Sprint 1-2h Charger.help!

Uh my batteries i have only had for a while and i got them with the charger have boiled on the out side! there are bubbles all over the sides now and cannot risk putting them in my gp32's. They aren't meant to do this are they? No other rechargables I have ever had do.

 

[Lethe]

uhh... i think it's obvious that you don't want that in your gp32 and definately not in your hands...

 

[jlebrech]

I have that charger :blink: too
well my batteries are fine tho.

Does that charger stop charging them when the batteries are fully charged or does it carry on regardless? It could be that you left them in too long or perhaps screamed at them too loudly.

sounds like they are being overcharged and have started venting.

My RC Cells sometimes do it and leak acid, but I still use them in my RC Car and it works fine

But For the GP32, I would bin them and get some new ones and a Auto Cut off Peak detection Charger.

 

[sam fisher]

It has two auto shut offs! it stops them form charging too long by detecting when they are full and it has a back up timer cut off! Im taking them back. I hope they didn't leak in the gp's. I cannot test as I have no batteries. Is it possible that its administering too much power to the batteries?

Oh yeah and thanks for answering my questions about it.

 

[Steve-O]

hhmmm

That could be a problem... the Charger could be putting too many AMPs into the Batteries.

I have this Cheap RC BAttery pack that I use for Practices which starts "Venting" if I charge it at over 3.1 Amps...

Ready the Batteries and It will tell you the recommended Amps to charge at. and then read the charger and it will tell you its output power

I have the same but 2100mahs. If you read the manual it has many different protection systems, overvoltage, overcurrent, overcharge, overheat, overover. It automatically stops charging regardless of batteries at 2hours. Must be faulty so you should bring them back.

EDIT: No, I have a unicross charger not sprint. Try unicross when you get your refund.

 

[sam fisher]

Yeah well mine has many protections aswell. the first charge it didn't get overly hot but now if charging anything it gets so hot its quite un comfortable to hold and burns you. Its also making a high pitch sort of electrical humb now that it didn't make before. Straight back to dixons it is going! I hope it the batteries didn't vent in my gp32's as their is that massive hole that goes inside the gp32.

DO NOT EAT THE BATTERY ACID

i had to go to hospital once, IT HURT

 

[generalnmx]

Should I merge this into sam's thread? :rolleyes:

Poor sam, it's like the GP32 gods are against him.

 

[sam fisher]
