[TI-H] Re: Rechargable Batteries
I got rechargeables! I decided to get NiCd because NiMH were *very*
expensive and the charger was also overpriced. They work great. I was
worried about the lower voltage and lower mAh ratings, but that doesn't seem
to be a problem.
I am also _not_ worried about the memory effect. Many people seem very
concerned about the memory effect, but if you discharge the batteries fully
and recharge them *without over charging*, then the memory effect will not
be built up. Even if it does, batteries can be reconditioned by discharging
them, then gently whacking them on a hard surface and recharging. This must
be done several times, but it works. All of the portable phones we have
suffered from the memory effect, but I have reconditioned them and they work
just fine.
Thanks for the advice.
