    reducing charger current

    Batteries are 240mAh. Yes, that's why I wanted to reduce the current. This charger came as a 'quick charger' for these batteries and has worked fine, as such. I would have liked to continue to use the darn thing with a lower current output to avoid having to buy another charger and/or more...

    reducing charger current

    And that's what I thought that circuitry was partially for on the battery- the battery will charge as fast as it's capable of, as long as the charger was up to it. I don't have an accurate way to measure. I thought I could limit the charger output for a slow charge. At this point, I'm scrapping...

    reducing charger current

    Oh, heck no! This was a naive assumption that I might be able to drop in a resistor on the charger. I'm not about to monkey around with the battery. Very good safety advice. Thanks.

    reducing charger current

    So, being that I'm far less smart than whatever the smartness of the charger, maybe I should just leave well enough alone and find a better charger. Yet another chapter in my 'Foilbles of a Cheapskate'. Thanks a lot for the help, all!

    reducing charger current

    more info In this case, I don't think this charger is any 'smarter' than a cell phone charger. It actually looks like a cell phone charger. The batteries I'm charging with it have something referred to as a 'protection circuit' which, I believe, replaces the need for a brain on the charger (?)...

    reducing charger current

    I have a little AC/DC LiPo charger that (according to the sticker) outputs 4.6V 800mA. I'd like to try reducing that current to ~ 250-300mA. Would that just be a resistor on an output lead? If so, what size? Thanks SO much for help.
