minolta f200 跟機送的 sanyo charger model:NC-MQR01
當我叉1850mA or 2100mA (they are sanyo battery) 時，部充電器叉在大約1 hr- 2hr, 紅燈熄在(mannul 話 if the light off, charging is completed), 但charger 背後寫 OUTPUT: 460mA x 4/ 920mA x 2.

其實熄在燈係唔係都繼續叉電?

OUTPUT: 460mA x 4/ 920mA x 2

係差4粒 / 2粒的分別.

差2粒會快一倍.

but 熄燈代表什麼?

I have typed the below message few weeks ago. I hope it will help-

I had a chance to meet a Manager of a rechargeable battery company. She taught me some tricks -

1) Charge your battery properly-
At the back of the charger, it should have something like this: AA -100mA (higher or lower mA number is possible). Say, if you are charging a 1800mAh AA battery, it means you should charge the battery for at least 18 hours (1800mAh/100mA = 18h). For maximum performance, 20% of buffer charging time is encouraged. Therefore, for the above case, user should charge 21.6 hours.

2) DON'T TRUST THE CHARGER SIGNAL
Some charger has a ready signal, you know, "Charging" is Red, "Ready" is Green. However, it is more like a timer instead of a signal. Say, the charger comes with 1800mAh batteries, then the charger's timer is only good for 1800mAh batteries. Once the time is up, the signal will turn from red to green and it only output a minimal level of electricity to keep the batteries in excellent condition. If you are charging 2100mAh batteries with the above charger, please cut the power and charge again after you see the "Ready" signal. You should be able to see the "Charging" signal once again.

3) Don't trust your battery as well -
Check your rechargeable battery carefully. For example, a 1800 mAh GP battery doesn't have 1800mAh of power. It written something like this on the battery body (min.1750 mAh)

4) Stronger power battery will launch soon. She also gave me a pack of 2300 mAh batteries for testing purpose.

5) Turn the LCD monitor off when using slow shutter.

I decided to follow her ideas and charge batteries like what she said ...

Result: 1) My friend used my F-200 to take pictures in a party. He used Auto Mode with LCD on, turning on & off sometime, review pictures and battery is only 1800 mAh. He is able to capture 68 pictures in around 1.5 hour and then the machine "hang" for the first time.
2) I decided to conduct a test myself. I also use 1800 mAh batteries. In the past three days, I have been taking pictures with Auto Mode, turned off LCD when using slow shutter, review pictures and set up.... Although I am not taking a lot of pictures in a same day but my machine is still OK . Actually, today is my 3rd day and batteries are still strong.

3) I will test my new 2300 mAh batteries soon !!!

but when i charge 2100/1850mA battery, after about 1-2hr the light of charger will turn off.

i just want to know 熄燈後係唔係繼續叉緊, (mannul said if the light is off, charging is completed), but i think 個幾鐘無可能叉飽 d 電.
so do need to cut the power and charge again or 由得佢繼續叉?

920ma x 2hr 都已經成 1840mAh 啦... 如果你只係叉兩粒既話... 咁兩個鐘頭熄燈好正常丫....

正常黎講 熄左燈就應該唔會再叉架啦 除非壞左...

我用GP的快速充電器，充電只需2小時，需否延長20%的充電時間？
