    dont let it get even moderately warm. batteries DO NOT GET HOT when charging, unless you pumping energy into them when they cant hold any more. The pack getting warm is extra energy being dissapated as heat. If a battery starts getting warm when charging, its done. the exception is a battery on a 15 minute charger, they get a little warm. but not much.

(continuous overcharge = 1 year at .1C with no visible deformation or leakage).
        NiMh batteries like to be quick charged. Most NiMh batteries are able to be charged to about 90% in one hour. Then they are finished by trickle charging. This gives maximum life to NiMh cells.


        Over charging is definately bad for batteries. They will heat. If the battery pack is heating it is done. A good charger will shut off when it senses the voltage drop due to over charging. The charger has to be specifically designed for the battery pack it is charging in order to sense the proper voltage drop.
        Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

            maximum life, maybe, but only if its done right. the best way to rapid charge is with both the voltage meter and a temperature guage. however, since no one will buy it if i charger 100 bucks or so for a good charger on top of everything else, its better to do the overnight thing. cheaper, with the least worries of me having to replace cells. i figure itll get 600 cycles easy, which is plenty.

                    not likely to be very soon, but soon enough. im testing the prototype at AO-NE III, and it will go from there.
