Thanks Pete.
It was actually something which I grabbed off the internet some time ago
when I started to disbelieve the hype surrounding NiMH cells.
I ruined quite a few of them by attempting to fast charge them and I had
suspicions about their so called lack of memory effect.
At the time I was not happy when as the I as the Radio Officer of the local
ATC was left high and dry with a bunch of radio's for an exercise that
failed after 5 minutes !
Now I won't entertain ANY fast charging of NiMH cells whatsoever and tests
over a period of time have proved they don't like fast charging at all.
Completly the opposite to NiCd cells which you can fast charge and
still get a thousands charges out of them and very little loss of capacity.
So it's a little file which I give a packet airing to now and again so
others don't get caught out.
