Yes I think so . it reads NiMH of course then the charge in volts that goes down with discharging. The time lapsed and a 5 digit meter labeled supplied capacity

So that is the capacity of battery meaning how much it has in it from the given state of charge. Specifically then if I hook it up to these pairs of cells I should . . . .what charge it to ? And then read the mah capacity and what would be an acceptable number for a pair of cells? I got a lot of work to do!!! I really appreciate your help

I have used your thread for all I have gotten done so far. I'm Thick As A Brick and don't know how to get the charge and discharge rate. It says charge at a rate of 20% of the rated mah? How do you get that number? There are 2 cells joined together. Each would account for half of voltage? Correct. Volts are around 15 so 7.5 apiece. You just charge them to what? And then get rated man from discharge man number. I don't want to do something boneheaded and ruin this woman's car. Don't want to over charge it. Or you don't charge it at all but just discharge to a low of what. I'm sorry I probably over thinking it.what won't top number be and bottom discharge be?

I don't think you got the right item. Get the Imax b6 and read the instruction that come with it.

Link your charger.

HCH2 sticks are rated for 5500mAh

IMAX B6 is very limited for this purpose. I would only purchase one if you have no other option. I should know. I have 14 of them.

This may sound dumb but what do you mean by link? I have a thunder T6x4 320w professional charger discharger balancer. Unfortunately I don't know how to set it so it doesn't screw up some cells. You said 5500 mah for Honda paired cells. How far up would you charge? To 5.5V? And how far down would you discharge these cells. Thanks Keith I appreciate your help
