Charging:

Cyclic Use:
Semi-constant or constant current charging at the 0.1C (C/10) rate for 15 hours is recommended. Overcharging at C/10 for long periods of time can be done at room temperature without causing damage.

Cell sizes ranging from 1/3AA to SC can also be quick charged for 4.5 to 6 hours at the 0.25C (C/3-C/4) rate. Quick charging larger cells (C-cell and up) requires a controlled charge circuit because of the heat and gas generated during overcharge.

Stand-by Use:
A trickle charge between of between 0.02C and 0.05C (C/50-C/20) is sufficient to keep a battery fully charged. At 0¼C to 45¼C (32¼F to 113¼F) this charge rate will minimize heating effects during overcharge and prolong battery life.
