I had always read that nicads should be run down before being

the DB is designed to stay on the charger 24/7/365.(at least my model
is) Mine lasted 10 yrs before needing a new pack,which was cheaper
thna buying a new DB.

you can buy NiCd cells at Digi-Key specifically designed for
continuous charging.

I suppose you believe Ron Popiel too. The nature of the batery
chemistry says that this is false.


Hey,I'm just relating what DIGI-KEY lists in their catalog;NiCds
specifically designed for continous charge;24/7/365.

Digi Key is not RONCO.
