I'm pretty sure it's the rate that it's charging at but I'm not positive.

Yeah it is, new question is what is the voltage output...?? The thing can charge at 5 AMPS but if the voltage isn't compatable then it would be useless. Right?

It depends.My battery has the same problem and still chargers.Explain the question a little more.

I don't know the voltage, what is it? ANd does voltage matter when charging?

Yes it does matter because thats the rate that its charging the battery at.I don't know the voltage let me go do some research and I might be able to tell you.

I found it its 8.8v-8.9v my dad just taught me all to know about this sort of thing. Thanks Austen.

BUT, Can i set the charger to 5 AMPS, (Its maximum) and charge the battery for about 15 minutes? instead of charging it slowly at .5Amp for 4 hours? I am charging a 8.4 1400MAH intellect.

I guess you could but it probably wouldn't be fully charged.It might mess up the battery to.

why oh why don't they teach dimentional analysis at the lower math levels...

Or you guys can just buy a really good peak charger to begin with.

Yeah yeah pointless to argue with you, i asked to make sure your answer was a little bit unclear.
