I am wanting to purchase the parts to make the featured small hexapod walker using Pololu micro maestro partial kit with this battery pack: 4.8 V, 150mAh. I need help with determining what kind of charger to purchase. What should I look for as far as specs.
Thanks All,
Jim L.

The charger should be capable of charging a 4-cell NiMH pack that has a capacity of 150 mAh. That capacity is relatively low, so the charge rate should be settable down to around 150 mA. The general-purpose chargers available in most hobby stores should be fine and handle a wide range of batteries for future use. Two units we’ve heard about but not used here are:
