<geobet@gis.net> <BR>Nope!,...... I think that I might have also had a
similar experience with the Astro charger. <BR>I had a pak that had been in
storage for about 3 weeks and decided to top it off before flying, but
noticed when I connected it to the charger that it started out at the
maximum voltage and started increasing from there into territory I had never
seen before.Recognizing that I had never seen voltages this high displayed
on the screen before, I immediately terminated the charge. This all happened
within a period of 15-20 seconds. <BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
