- Ok, I got a free dive light in a weird set of circumstances. The dive light doesn't have the charger with it however. It uses rechargeable nicad battery pack (9.6v 4.4Ah) Here are my questions... Can

- Sounds like the worst case scenario is you get the new dive light if either the battery is no good or the wrong charger ruins it. Perhaps hook up the charger outside and plug it in from a safe distan

- A few years ago I bought a universal battery charger/cycler, and it has turned out to be very handy. It is meant for R/C airplanes and cars, and will properly change pretty much any size Nicad, NiMh,

- A 'normal' DC supply can be made to work, but I think you'll need a slightly higher, regulated voltage; plus some way to limit the current. A good rule of thumb when you don't know the battery detai

- We fly RC planes and use a lot of small wall wart chargers. You can safely use a charger rated for the full voltage of the battery (or a little bit more) and no more than 1/10 the current. It will ta

- This is a little off from Eric's dive light question, but... As an R/C pilot you can't mean that. You have a potentially lethal weapon, and an investment of hundreds (or thousands) of dollars flying

- I agree completely (assuming Karl meant 'pack' instead of 'back'). If you want to run the cells flat (which theoretically is good for them), you have to open the pack and discharge each cell indepen

- I did say very occassionally and I do not believe that NiCad packs will have an issue with it, especially at the 1/10 C rate I also discussed. I would not do this with NiMH and certainly not any Lit

- The industry standard for discharging a NiCad cell is .7 volt per cell. Below that cell reversal will likely occur and destroy the pack. Been doing it that way with many thousands of packs for over 4
