I would go with NiMH, since the NiCd production volume of small cells is now so low now that quality suffers. You need to pay serious attention to the charging circuit, no matter which chemistry you pick. The trickle charge current is probably too high for modern NiCd and guaranteed too high for NiMH. If there is a bulk charge state, you should check the parameters (current/timer) of that too. Finally, try to measure the final config (ie: on the right shelf, in the pile of kit) temperature of the battery pack, before deciding/adjusting charging parameters, both NiCd and NiMH change properties rapidly above approx 40C/100F. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [email protected] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ volt-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volt-nuts and follow the instructions there.
