Next message: Ken James: "Re: lv-ab: RE: [Liveaboard] Ni-CAd"
Thanks to everyone for the info on storing NiCads. It is rather difficult to do a google search from an internet cafe using a 386 with a slow land line.
All advice says store them charged. But I distinctly remember reading the instructions for my Sony video battery 'store discharged!' I'll do more reasearch when I get home to N.A.
Tip; I stored some regular AAA's with masking tape wound around the batteries (top to bottom) so the contacts wouldn't touch each other or other (metal) objects ... and discharge,
After 6 months, all the batteries with masking tape were discharged. All the loose batteries with no tape (on a box) were fully charged. Same battery, same age, same condition. Must have discharged through the tape
