Default What is the trick to replacing rechargeable batteries please?


"Jim Yanik"


many NiCd chargers use a temp sensor to determine a full charge,and that
will kill NiMH.


** Utter nonsense.

Temp detection is the MAIN way of detecting the end point when charging
NiMH cells.

The PROBLEM comes with NiCd chargers that use VOLTAGE peak detection -
cos NiMH cells never drop voltage like NiCds do.
