Message-ID: <656@watcgl.UUCP> Date: Tue, 4-Dec-84 13:01:01 EST Article-I.D.: watcgl.656 Posted: Tue Dec 4 13:01:01 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 4-Dec-84 23:54:36 EST Distribution: net Organization: U of Waterloo, Ontario Lines: 9 I have several pieces of equipment containing nicad batteries (electronic flash, etc) that I do not use for long periods at a time ( > 1 year). What is the best way to store this equipment? With the cells discharged? Or with them fully charged, and digging the equipment out of the closet every once in a while to top off the charge? (I've heard both answers from different sources; does anyone really know which is correct?) Dave Martindale {decvax,ihnp4,clyde,allegra}!watmath!dmmartindale
