Subject: More good stuff about A Nihm 'Gas' MonitorI've seen the BatMon before and it's a good design, based on the Dallas
chip. It's only "potential drawback" is that it states a numeric level vs
actually telling you how much time you have left.
Great point Sheldon,
I was waiting for someone to bring that number thing up. However like Nicads maybe we would learn to recognize what we had left in the tank when it said a particular number.
Part of the problem is that Nihms DO last so long. We don't get near empty often enough to get to 'know' them.
Maybe a sight gauge on the side of the pack :-)
The real answer and simplest is to make sure the cells are charged completely before heading out. And use your field charger to peak up during the day.
