Battery Charger Type vs Battery Type Question

[hutch009]

I will have a mix of the following types of batteries for different hilts:

http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Pa...ery-P1282.aspx

Can I safely switch between the 1amp Battery charger http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/37...ger-P1180.aspx and the 500mAh battery charger http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/37...rger-P129.aspx that TCSS sells? For Example say I used the 500mAh charger before an event to charge the battery and once the battery runs out I use the 1 amp charger to recharge. Is this safe to do for both types of batteries?

Thanks in advance

I would say probably. It depends more upon the protected circuit limits within the batteries, but I'm pretty sure 1 amp will be ok. Most batteries that TCSS sells have a 5 amp Protection circuit (that is that protection circuit will interrupt battery connection when either drain/charge rate exceed 5A). The exception to that are the 10A 18650s that TCSS sell for neopixels. They don't kick in circuit protection until 10A.

Something like that. I use all kinds of different chargers on my batteries (all appropriate to the voltage), but each with different charge rates. I haven't had any issues. Just make sure on that one charger that you select the proper voltage for your battery, the one that has a selector switch.
