- Store nicads charges or they will die. Also fully discharge them
- before charging. I don'y have a reason but this works for us.
- If these ni-cads are separate cells there was a nicad zapper
- in radio electronics you could build. I've fixed some single
- cell by applying 12vdc for 1sec but this could injure you!.
