Almost all fast chargers, including the Sirius, are capable of false peaks,
on any battery type. The Alpha 4 may be as reliable for NiMh as it is said
to be for NiCd, but it would not be fully automatic, it would switch from
fast charge to a very high trickle.
For rx packs then, I just bring several to swap out at the field. For all
other charging needs, the Dymond Super Smart or FMA SuperNova will do.

Subject: [RCSE] Charging NiMh's with Sirius Pro Charger?
RCSE'rs,
I'm currently using a Sirius Pro Charger for my NiCd batteries and
I'm looking
to get some new NiMh's:
http://www.siriuselectronics.com/pro_ser.htm
I've been looking around on the web, and it seems that most fast
changers
(Sirius included) were designed for NiCd batteries, and that NiMh's
have a
different charging curve which can cause quick chargers to damage
the
batteries.
Anybody have any experience with this? Can NiMh's be fast charged
with a
Sirius charger? If not, what are Sirius owners doing? (Besides
buying new
chargers or staying away from NiMh ... hah, pre-empted the flames!)
;)
Cheers,
Brad
