CG330 and CG335

The following questions relate to the CG330 and CG335 Chargers.

  • Q. Will the CG330 or CG335 Charger charge NiMh batteries?
    • A. Yes, the CG-330 & 335 will charge NiMh cells because they are linier chargers however, they are not optimized for them so you should use a lower charge rate and monitor the battery for excessive heat. Hitec does not recommend these chargers for NiMh cells lower than 600Mah.
  • Q. What is the best power source for the CG330 and CG335?

    • A. A 12-volt car battery or 10-amp power supply will allow the 330 & 335 chargers to work to their full potential. You can use a 12-v gel cell or a lower amperage power supply if charging smaller and fewer cells.

  • Q. Can I use an auto battery charger to power the CG330 and CG335?

    • A. No, the current from an auto battery charger is not consistent and will cause the chargers to "False Peak."

  • Q. Can I really charge more than one pack with the CG330 and CG335?

    • A. Yes, up to 24 cells but only in series.

  • Q. What is the smallest pack I can charge with the CG330 and CG335?

    • A. The lowest fast charge rate is .5 amps so it is recommended you don't charge anything lower than 110mah.

  • Q. What is the trickle charge rate?

    • A. The trickle rate is 5% of the full charge rate.
