It gets hot, damn hot... the cells seem to take it ok. I'm sure i'm losing electrolyte with every charge, but with as cheap as they are, if I get 50 cycles out of them, I'll be happy. However, don't waste your money on their c or d cells, they are just AA cells in an adapter case. Keep in mind, you want to top these cells off before you go do anything important, and probably charge them once ever 2 or 3 weeks weather you have used them or not. The self discharge rate of NIMH is pretty high. I think at some point i'm going to get an RC-car / airplane charger, one of the programable units, and charge that way. > I know we've been over this before, but I'm too lazy to dig through the > archives. > > Merry Christmzs anf a hwppu nwe uwsr, > > -- > Scott (lightly malted) Loveless > http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Ben 'Polyhead' Smith KE7GAL -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
