Hello-I have the RS Hornet amp and Tysonic rechargeable battery. How long should I charge the battery for?

Cheers,
Robert

If you use the charger from Ray Samuels Hornet kit, you can leave it on for ever. (only rechargeables-9 volt NI-MH)...

1.5 to 2 hrs. is plenty

I just leave it in. I don't think there is a problem with doing that. Someone say so if there is!

What charger and what kit are you referring to? The Hornet itself charges the battery.

One time, I left my Hornet plugged in all night and day, and when I got home from work, the Hornet became too hot to touch. I immediately pulled the plug and let it cool. It worked fine, and this only occurred once. While I do leave the Hornet plugged in over night regularly to charge the battery, I try to make sure not to leave it plugged in longer than that with a battery in it.

I just ment the power supply from RAY SAMUELS. His manual says you can leave it on as long as you like with Ni-MH batterys. (ONLY Ni-MH ).

THanks Guys,
I forgot a manual came w/my Hornet,I hate reading manuals,even the the hornet manual is brief. I also emailed Ray Samuels,he says the battery recharges in 2 hours. I don't leave the charger plugged in longer than 2 hours. It's the charger that came with the amp.

Cheers,
Robert
