Charging IC3s

do i have to use the IC3 charger to charge them. i just bought some and when i get some money im gonna get the charger. i was wondering if it was safe to use the RS charger temporarily? i probably have to wait 2-4 weeks til i get enough money.

red means there's an error. green means its trickle charging to keep the battery topped off. and flashing green is normal charging.

aperson, I had the same problems with my ic-3's. it would turn red like 20 mins after putting them in the RS charger. So I bought the i-c3 charger. But the package says can be used with "any other charger, but will charge at slower speeds". I guess they did not mean RS charger...

the batteries get hot like the regular RS batts when the red light comes on, but then i just tap the charger and the batts start charging again. and Rayovac probably meant any other of their chargers
