I have called almost every Henry's and the Energiser's tech line.

Now Energiser cannot advise anything, they only sell batteries up to 2500mah
and chargers to same. Now I imagine soon they will be selling 3000mah
batteries as Panasonic and so many other mfgs do already. The batter charger
I have is obsolete now, 2 years old and actually they still sell it at
Henrys.

So I suppose my options are to buy a battery charger that is smart charger
that measures through trickle the capacity of the charging battery and shuts
off when trickle gets low enough. Or, use this charger and after its 8.5
hour automatic shut off time to pull out then push back into wall plug to
add about 1.5 hours of charge and not forget or it will run the cycle of 8.5
more hours and dissapate heat or overcharge the batteries reducing their
life.

The batteries measure 1.38 to 1.39 volts after the 8.5 hour plus the extra
about 1.5 hours charge. They measure about 1.17volts when empty.

Whats a poor boy to do? Come on Dave, I know you know. And you know that I
know that you know that These are for that battery pack for the HT that I
use to measure the gnd radiation for my sauna rocks. Very important.

Hi
Anyone familiar with the Energiser CHDC-CA Battery Charger? That just
happens to be the model number of the one I have but very common all over
the place and just the typical AAA and AA battery charger. Charges 4 at a
time. It is timer operated meaning it operates for about 8.5 hours and
shuts
off preventing over charging. The manual says it will charge 2650mah AA
batteries in 8.8 hours then shuts off automatically. I try to deplete the
batter as much as possible. The unit's output is 2.8v 360mh . Now I
believe
also its max charge time is 8.5 hours or auto shuts off at 8.5 hours.
Now, my new batteries ni mh are 3000 mah . Now if you cross mulitply you
end
up with a 10 hour charge time mathematically, that can be done, just
charge
1.2 (or 1.5) hours longer and remember to stop it. But if you factor it
differently as the 3000mah divided by the 360 equals the 8.3 hours to
charge, not needing the additional charging.

Anyone have experience with these?

As an ANTENNA???!!!
