You are trying too hard - the ma rating of the libretto batteries is printed right on them, and you know how long the battery lasts, so you can do the math quite easily... I think NICAD batteries need something more complex than just a power source to finish charging... NICAD rechargers are cheap, and the capacity of D cells are very good...

For that matter, does anyone know if you could charge a NiMH pack the same way as Xin Feng (on that site) does a sealed lead acid pack (ie. just plug it straight into the 15 volt Libretto AC adapter on the basis that a charged pack peaks close enough to 15 volts)? > > For that matter, can anyone give me a ballpark figure of how much current the Libretto 50CT (clocked to 100MHz if that makes any difference) could be expected to draw on low power (or high power for that matter)? > > - Raymond > > > > > ************************************************************** > http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list > http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives > http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ > -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- > Reply to any of the list messages.
