How to recharge new NiCad battery
I bought a new 18 volt cordless drill-driver
that has 1200 mAh recharceable NiCad battery.
What is the best way to get longest battery
life out of it?
Alzerimers setting in? Can't remember if you
completely discharge first or fully charge to
get longest life.


Completely discharging just about any multicell battery will reverse charge some cells
and likely ruin them. Fully charge it. Try reading the instructions to be sure.
