R/C Charger for marker batteries?

[MagMan26]

I have a charger that charges NiMH or Nicad batteries, it peak charges them in about 25 minutes hooked up to your car battery, can I us it with a BooYah frame batter or an Angel batt if I make an adapter?

only if it has variable output current down to probably 160 mAh (angel) and 15 mAh (rechargeable 9V. but NiMH 9V's cant be peak charged usually, only slow charged.

It just peaks the battery until it cant hold anymore, you can adjust the chargeing amps from aobut 10 or .5...

nope, wont work. .5 amps is 500 mAh. your charger has a good chance of overcharging smaller batteries like those used in paintball.

it definately wont charge an angel battery, they are only 4.8 volts.

it doesnt just charge till the battery is full, it charges until its sees certain full-charge indicators (usually by the voltage drop that occurs when the battery is full. this doesnt work very well with NiMH, as the drop is about .02 volts, instead of the .1-.2 volts common in NiCad).

It should be able to do it, what charger do you have?

I think the novak millennium will do it meh i don't know

[MagMan26]

its a tekin, and it doesn't matter the size of the batt. adn it can charge a 4 cell batt for my radio and its only 600mah. and 4.8 volts or less...

a tekin...yummy, I don't know if it will charge it but i know tekin made some sweet speed controls I used to be into R/c stuff pretty heavy

if it can do that pack, it should be allright. but dont do rechargeable 9V's, they can ONLY be slow charged.
