NiMH batteries, specifics

[Richard Hallett]

Put it in the freezer and try it for yourself. But don't forget to try NiCad's the same way and also alkaline. So after you freeze it over night after a good charge at room temperature do a controlled discharge with an aileron extension out the top of the refrigerator  freezer door. They stand up probably best of any.  I always buy them at the local shop - Wal-Mart but this time got them at Home Depot.

  Ok, I'm sure we're all intimately familiar with nicads, and lately, we've become all too familiar with lithium-ions and lithium polymers. (If I never hear about another lithium battery, it'll be too soon).

  What I'd like is some detailed specifics regarding the red headed stepchild of the battery world, the Nickel Metal Hydride.

  What's the deal with it's performace at low temps? What temps are we talking here?

  What's the scoop on fast charging, rates, overheating, etc?

  I'd like some experienced opinions on this.

  Thanks,
  -Mike
