Charge profile for Gifted diy battery pack?

[Bluebeagle]

Hi all,

We received a 30 volt Nimh battery pack to use on our electric cart build. We're new to all things electric so want to make sure we're charging this pack correctly.

Using a bench top power supply and a Nimh specific charge controller, we're going to set the volts on the bench top power supply to 30 v and at the moment will limit the amps to 1 amp. This will result in a slow charge which is fine, but wondered if there is a better way to determine a more specific rate of charge? I do not know the amp rating for the individual batteries nor the pack which is part of the confusion. Hope that makes sense.

I'd say you need more info before proceeding

What are the specifics of the cells, that your working with?

You need to know (at least) their low voltage limit & top charge limit
...so, you don't over dis-charge (too low) or over charge them (too high)
