What is the proper way to charge these cells. I have a number of AA's
that are all weak. I have tried charging them at a constant rate of
about .050A overnight and they seem to come up and they will work but
don't last very long. Can these be charged manually as you would Nicads
or is there a special trick to this? Thanks, Lenny Stein, Barlen

I kinda wish someone would write up the best ideas that work about various
batterys and charging methods, and methods to test each
for quality. In working with NIMH, I have yet to gather enough
information to really evaluate them properly.
I have some that seem to shut down prematurly powering a digital camera.
I think its just one cell acting up or something like that sometimes. I
always wanted to build
a charger, like one charging position for each cell. I never liked charging
them
in series or parallel. Each one should be individually handled.

The Ansmann Energy 16 will handle up to 12 AA cells treating each
individually. It has a function that will automatically renew old cells
that seem to be failing. It will do that by its refresh mode. Any cell
that needs this will not effect the state of charge or the charge time
of any other cell.
