Here's a technical question that I'm sure someone must have an answer to. I've done a little research and haven't been able to come up with an answer.
I bought a NiCad Battery for my LX winder just about 3 1/2 years ago. It's reached the end of it's use full life but I haven't used it all that much. Before I re-battery it with either NiCads or some other superior power source I'd like to try a deep discharge to possibly remove any memory effects and possibly prolong the current batteries lives.
Basically I have three questions.
1.) Has anyone on the list ever tried this, and did it work?
It seems to me that to discharge the pack I simply need to bridge two of the pins, on the four pin socket used to either recharge the pack or use it remotely, with the correct load.
2.) Is there a resource which describes what each of pins is for?
3.) What resistance I should use?
Thanks for any help.
