Post by: cpclark on September 03, 2003, 06:54:48 PM

hey guys, i finally sucked it up and joined the rechargable battery team.  i pick up 4 rat shack 1800mah ni-MH batteries, just wondering whats the best way to charge/cycle these bad boys, i have never used rechargables really, so any information is pertinent, thanks everyone.

Uhmmmmm...   :P

Charge:  put 'em in the charger and plug it in.

Discharge:  put 'em in a device, turn it on, and wait, or put 'em in the charger and press the discharge button.

Cycle = full discharge + full charge.  See above.  I cycle mine every month or so just for kicks.

Don't think the Rat Shack chargers have a discharge option.  At least mine didn't.
