Another Charging Question

I just got my Epoch, and love it. I’ll post more on the Epoch later. I just have a quick charging question for the battery gurus. I was pretty bummed out with the Epoch AC adapter that I bought. It’s a 9volt, 1.2 amp adapter. That’s right. They are now shipping 1.2amp adapters. So I scrounged around the house, and found a perfect 9volt, 350mah AC adapter for the charging base. I’m just not quite sure how long of a sustained charge I can do on the batteries at this level of current. My calculations suggest that I can do a 24 minute charge to fully charge the cells, but I’m not sure about the heat issue. Do you think that 24 minute charging sessions would be okay, until I can pick up a peak charger, or would I cook the batteries?

At 9v, that's a bit too long. I would only go about 8 minutes at the most. If you want to chg. longer, get a 6v cord.

I just chopped the cord off the charging base and hooked it up to my peak charger...

I do believe a Great Planes Triton has no problems detecting the peak
