I need a help with my charger.

[MikeS]

I have never got my head round setting up my Sigma 2 eq charger to charge nicads or nimh battery's. I have a 6v 8mah sealed lead acid battery that I would like to charge, what settings do I need.

the auto settings should be fine

just set max amps nicads and nim i give 1 amp and lead anything up to max according to size of lead battery

doesn't it have a Pb (lead acid) option? A quick browse of the instructions on-line shows Pb as being available - keep pressing the left hand button (red), when it shows PB press the right hand button (green), select the number of cells (in your case 3, 6v) using < and > yellow buttons then press green to start it.

It's a standard clone charger that looks the same as the Imax units that I use.

Thanks Crispin and Bob. Yes it has the Pb option. I will give it ago in the morning. Do I have to manually end the charge or does it auto end the same as lipos.

I put a volt meter across my lead acid battery and it showed 2.6v so I will try and recover it but my charger was showing connection break. Got a new battery 6v 10ah and put it on charge at 6v and 0.4A. Charger is charging at 7.35 v.

After reading the manual it does not say if the charger stops once the battery is charged like it does with lipos
