Default Quick Saddle Pack Charging Question

Just picked up a new Saddle pack and it didn't come with charging instructions like my Batteries from SPC did. I bought a 6 cell pack. I know the mah should be set to 1500mAh on my charger, 1.5A and 6 cells.

What I don't know is what to set the Peak (mV/C) at?

I'm at a loss and the TCS is closed right now and I want to charge!

Thanks!

Well TCS answered my question and since no one here answered, I figured I'd share. According to TCS the 1500mah saddle packs should be charged with a 5-7mVc cutoff.

I charge my new packs the first time on the trickle it takes for ever 24 hrs. After that I charge at 1 amp. Always store your packs fully charged. I get about 45 mins. of runtime 6 cell 7.4 v with my heavy shafty and a Novak Goat System.

Good to know Stormin - I'll bet a lot of people wouldn't have known that
