Just which site is this? Why is it anomynous? If you check the


well, i just spent an hour trying to find that url, struck out, it must
have been a link from a Usnet group. similarly i cannot find another
url i visited this am that talks about "Zero Delta V" detection which
i assume is for NiMH. it doesn't reverse, just stops rising.

and that comports with yet _another_ mystery site that said a NiMH can
take 1/10C overcharge indefinitely (or it may have been 1/18C), which
shortens the life of Nicads.

manufacturers sites (Eveready, Ray-oVac, ...) The site I gave you
previously (on testing beatteries for cameras) and more, you will find
that your reference is simply wrong. Do a search with Google or Dogpile
and read some of the material.


the Thomas Distributing site has quite a bit on the charger/battery technology
and states that three methods are recognized (by MAHA) to recharge batteries,
delta V, timer, and temp, that only delta V does not overcharge. then they
say, ....good designs will incorporate all three, like the MAHA....

anyhoo, just my own personal experience, take it for what it is. --Loren
