Replacing a good one is not necessary. The only truly safe setup is using two batteries, one regulated at a high voltage and one at a lower voltage. If the high voltage circuit/battery fails then the low voltage one will get you back to the ground safely. Since it is required for only a short time it can be a much smaller battery.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"

The regulator will has to dissipate the difference 3V@300ma as “wasted” power.

When the battery will only accept 85 – 90% of this value on a discharge/charge cycle, then I would replace it.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face=Tahoma size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">-----Original Message-----<BR><B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">From:</SPAN></B> nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org [mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org] <B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT:
