Subject: NI-CAD maintenance
Date: Fri, 24 Sep 1999 18:08:42 +0200
I read in a recent post that NI-CAD batteries in dive lights need to be
completely drained before charging, otherwise the battery wont last as long
on each charge in the future. Is there anything else to think about
regarding NI-CAD battery maintenance? Should you discharge and then
recharge the battery occasionally between using the light to ensure longer
battery life? Is it a good idea to leave the battery plugged in to the
charger to "top upp" the battery now and then, like with lead-acid
batteries? 
Answers much appreciated.
