  Peter, I just told you the stats in the other post - they are all the same, 
just divide by the size. Pete, how old are you , are you getting Alzheimers?

  The nicads come in little bitties, then 4.4, 7, 10, and 20. The rating is at
a 
one hour rate, like I said before. The truth is that they rise up about 15%
over 
that after a few burns, and the 20's become 23's. 

  They require a conputerized charger that has both a timer cutoff, a constant 
current output with a rising voltage, and a negative delta voltage cutoff. You 
could do it like a dork and use temperature sensing, but that is a clusterfuck, 
or you could do it like a real stroke and try a lead acid charger - I know 
morons who have done this.

  The charger costs $500, and you need a few of them in case one goes bad -
they 
take forever to fix. You need some for your 12 volt lights, and some for your
24 
volt scooters. Yo need extra battries in case a cell goes bad, and you need to 
kown how to configure them , and ther are a host of secrets to that which I wil 
never tell, at least while there is unexplored cave out there. I spent enough 
time with the engineers at Sanyo to work for them, and luckily , most of them
do 
not speak English.- G
