Jon,
How long did you recharge them? I tried following the advice given on
this list for the 2100 NiMH batteries, ie charging them for 12 hours and
it looks like I totally killed my 130 battery pack. It used to have a
charge of about 20% and now it is really dead (0%). I guess 12 hours only
applies to MiMH batteries. :-(
Listees, any way to revive such an overcharged pack?
Thanks,
Chris Searles
