- My understanding:
-
- you can charge this thing at .1C which means .1 * max current which
- means 70 mA for approx 10 hours. "Volts don't matter, current does"

- Dont' trust anything I say - I've never had any luck with NiCds
- lasting more than about 1 month. But the above is what everybody
- else says is true ;-)
