I have and old but in great shape Tekin Reflex charger from when I raced 15+ years ago! Could I use it with todays batteries? Rules where I race call for 3600 and under batteries! Thanks!

It will charge today's nimh, but you need to keep an eye on the temps. Todays cells need a more sensitive peak detection than the old nicds. The voltage doesn't drop as quick, so older chargers don't cut off when the pack really is done.

I have an old Reflex around still I think. I have a 110 and a 111? And also 112a and b.

One thing to do for sure, is turn off the flex charge. I would try it, and monitor temps. If your packs don't get too hot (I don't like mine to go over 120*) it's fine, imo. If it the packs get too hot to hold comfortably.... find another charger.

if its a 112-a or 112-c you can have it upgraded buy tekin for 50 bucks which is cheaper than blowing up a battery pack and hurting yourself or someone else.. go to tekins web site for info.....
