Hey, just got my first AEG (Marui G36C)...it came with a G & P 8.4 V Ni-cd 600mAh battery. It also came with a generic wall charger (nothing fancy)...There's this switch where you can select either standard or fast charge and one where you set the DC output. What I'm wondering is, what voltage I'm supposed to set the output at, since it goes from 4.8V to 9.6V (it was set at 6V when I got it from the shop). It doesn't say the output amperage at all, it just says AC Input 110-120V, 7 Watts, Standard Charge 10-12 hrs, Fast Charge 3-4 hrs. Am I supposed to be charging at 8.4 V, or am I supposed to leave it at 6V? Again, the thing doesn't give an output in amps, and I've tried searching for this topic already in the FAQ, just don't wanna fry my battery the first time around.
