A good six months ago, there was a discussion in this group about a device that would "burn the whiskers" off nicad battery packs, thus defeating the dreaded nicad memory problem. I archived that message, but, now, when I find myself in need of such a device, I cannot locate the message. Can anyone help? Peter B. Hayward University of Maine WX9T

You can rapidly and automatically fully charge even a partially discharged nicad with no danger of shallow discharge memory. Using this charger, you 'repair' a nicad that has such memory. You fast charge with no danger of cooking the battery.
