In reference to the Peak charger...That is one in which there are pulses applied to the battery at 2C not continuous at the higher current, right? I have read that charging above 1C is OK for the battery for the first 70% of charge but that degradation sets in after that due to the heat and venting.

I guess you got lucky with the 800mah.
The charger I use is the same one I charge my sialplane batteries with. It handles 1-12 cells and 200-2000mah. It does protect the batteries by switching to trickle (10%) after 90 minutes. I have yet to have a battery go bad using it. Check out
www.HobbyPeople.net it's the PF-12 charger. (PF = Park Flyer
