Re: Syncal batteries

The charging circuit in the Syncal-30 itself is just a constant-current source, sort of... Fine for NiCds, not really acceptable for NiMh, pretty
much out of the question for anything else.

You could well be right Scott, but since Nicads are getting hard to find anyway, I will continue to use NiMH cells and charge them with constant current, from the regular external charger who's number escapes me (nothing in the Syncal itself), which works for fine me, so far... Famous last words maybe.

Forgive my ignorance, but why is it not acceptable? I don't think I'm alone in doing this!
