Might want to fix it up with a snart charger that'll switch from full charge to just a trickle when it senses the cells are fully charged. The so-called "memory effect" isn't a big problem. >> Looking at my conditioning charger for both AA/AAA NiMH and NiCd cells, the instruction sheet suggests reconditioning(completely discharging) NiCd cells each time they are inserted, while with NiMH cells it says recondition/discharge completely every several times. So I am assuming memory effect for NiMH's "isn't a big problem", but must still be considered. On the other hand, <http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-12.htm> seems to indicate the opposite. So, Jeff, will you be able to find the right sized NiMH battery to replace the lead acid one in the Outbound Laptop? Wonder if I could find the correct size for my Outbound Notebook?
