Since the ALLTEK 1268 it is a rapid charger, and has a high charge current won it reduce the life of my NiMH batteries?
Answer 9: That is like asking if you drive your car at 100 mph versus 50 mph, will you get the same gas mileage. The simple answer is NO , but if you continue to drive at 100 mph your cars engine will probably experience more overall wear and tear over the life of your car! Let us say that you have been charging a set of 4 batteries daily for your digital camera. Let us also say that you have charged this set of batteries 50 times so far. Normally it would have cost you roughly $4.00 per day on average if you had been using standard alkaline batteries. 50 times $4.00 is $200.00 versus $12.00 for the NiMH Rechargeable batteries. At this point you will probably continue to charge these batteries at least a hundred or more times before you must replace them, since nothing lasts forever. Even if they – the NiMH batteries – quit taking a charge tomorrow you are still several hundred dollars ahead versus standard alkaline batteries. Yes , fast charging can possibly reduce the life of any rec
