This is probably in the wrong section, sorry.
Question: Does anyone know if I can charge my R1Wurks (AAAs) in a standard NiMH wall charger without doing serious damage to the batteries?

as long as the charger is AAA capable, R1Wurks are Ni-Mh batteries

well if you want to you can buy one of them multi purpose chargers that charge everything, and then just build yourself a charging rack, but even one of thoose is only $40 and can charge any battery you'll use in RC ;)

$40 is alright, but i just dumped like 150 into the hobby so don't feel like spending much for the time being lol

though you might want to switch to a good smart charger that does the full discharge/charge cycle unlike the cheap ones that only do the charging half. you'll get reduced runtimes after several charges with cheap chargers.

I think most chargers for rechargeable batteries are of the peak to peak sort, so as long as make sure i drain my batteries of everything they have before I fill them up again I don't think I'll need to worry about shortening the life of them, thanks for reminding me of that though.
