Maybe this belongs in another section, but I feel it's more saftey related. I Just got my Arctic in...WOOOWWWW! If this thing impresses me, I would love to see a 1w or greater 445!
When I first got it I read the book cover to cover before even inserting the batteries(a positive and negative symbol stamped on the battery would be nice for battery noobs, but I happen to know the diff. between a anode and a cathode)
Anyway, there was no mention of the charger in the manual, no charging time or even if this is a smart charger(which if it's not may explain the explosion issue)
I inserted the batteries and turned it on(I was glad to see it was an orange shrinked battery). I familiarized myself with the functions and noticed the battery meter hovering between the 1st and 2nd lights. It's not advisable to discharge a lithium based cell so I turned it off and put the battery on charge,( I also covered it incase of an explosion) My question...Does this charger have a peak circuit and automatically cuts off, or does it just charge at a specified current no matter what the battery voltage level is?
Thanks in advance, Michael
EDIT: Found some info on their webpage. They do sell a smart charger but it looks nothing like the one included with the Arctic.
