Which battery type must be selected on the charger if I want to charge NiMH batteries, LiPo or LiFe? Many thanks for the answer!

Helpful answer

According to the instructions, this charger can only charge LiPo and LiFe batteries.

If you look at the specifications, you will see that the minimum charging current is one ampere. This is actually too much for NiMH batteries, which will then get too hot and be destroyed. Much more dangerous, however, is that the cut-off criterion for LiXX and NiMH is significantly different. For NiMH, the final

charging voltage is about 1.4 V, but for LiXX it is around 4V! This means that this charger will never reach the end-of-charge voltage with NiMH batteries and will therefore continue charging until the NiMH batteries finally explode.
