Mercury 323 sub with a 309. Mercury 325 use the 392 or 384. Mercury 343 sub with a 344 or Accucell-1.

What is rapid charge for an Ni-Mh battery?

New Energy Limited
A.We refer to rapid charge as one of around 0.8C ~ 1C max. Beyond this value, the cell temperature may rise causing the safety vent to open leading to leakage of the materials from inside the cell.
