LOL are those capacitors or batteries? If you wire them in parallel then its not so bad, 1.2v, 600mah!. but if in series, 14.4V, 50mah, erm, not many applications for it. Charge it at 1 C, in this case, 0.05A!

ahhh.. sorry i read the wrong thing on the battery. it says charge at 50mA for 12 hours. The battery is about 1/3 the height of the AA size battery.

tat means ur batt capacity is 600mah.

2/3AA or 1/3AA?

I'm betting it's the 350 mah cells.
