*Hello... I am storing a few rechargable whipper snipper batteries in my

know if I go out to the shed and just plug the battery charger in I'll
freaking forget about them and they'll charge for a freaking week before I
remember. (I'm 51 and my mind is toast...70"s were real good to me lol)

What is the point, just charge before use. To determine if your
charger overcharges or is a smart peak charger a use a volt meter to
measure voltage and check the temperature of the pack. A Nicad 1.2v
cell should stop charging at about 1.3-1.38 v per cell, then the
charger should shut off if its voltage peak, Temp peak charging would
be several degrees above room temp, if pack stays hot or continues to
receive charge then its not a very good charger. My old B&D chargers
were not good. Best is just charge before use there is not need to
maintain 100% charge all the time, those that say leave in the charger
like B&D just cook batteries slowly to death without very good peaking
monitoring. My way of thinking is if the pack is hot its not good for
the batteries.
