Hi there, it's been quite a while since I last posted here on the Forum but only recently I came across a question regarding a rebuilt HP41 battery pack that I purchased. More precise, the question concers the charging time required to charge it to full capacity again.
The pack contains 4 150mAh KAN (NiMH) accumulators and I'd like to charge it using the standard HP charger. Now, the charger has the well known 3VA 8VAC output which translates in a current of 375mA. However, it's AC and it's converted to DC by the rectifier built into the pack. Since I do not know which type of rectifier is used in the pack I can't really figure out how much DC current is effectively used for charging the cells, therefore I can not judge how long I have to charge the pack.
Can anybody give me a helping hand in figuring out the charging time?
Thanks a lot in advance for your efforts and best regards,
Timo
