I've found (on transmitter packs) that the Sirius gives up at around 60% of charge, and that to get a full pack, I have to resort to a timed charge.
You generally need to leave the packs on for about 3 hours after the lights start blinking to get a 100% charge. The blinking light means they are topped off enough to safely fly, but to get the 100% charge you need to let them trickle for a couple hours or so.
At least that is what I have found with my three different Sirius chargers (Limited Edition, Quad, and Pro Series). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bill Malvey
I use the Schulze isl 6-330d to charge them, from 4 cells to 30 cells. It is self regulated and when the charger beeps, it is fully charged, 98%-100%. The AA 1650 mah is charged about 1-1.2C, the 2600mah is charged at 2.2C(5.5-5.8 amp). One chager takes care of all the batteries(I am not saying that is the only charger I own!). The charger also charges and discharges Nicad, Nimh, Lipo, LiIon, Lead acid.
