    Bulk charging NiMH AAs

    I've used the Maha MH808m for years at home: http://www.thomasdistributing.com/AA-AAA-C-D-Chargers_c_988.html. Eight cells, NiMh or NiCad, AAA - D, fast or slow simultaneously; can condition them.

    Need Help with a budget light setup.

    Consider this: Put one, with that broad, sharp cutoff lens and one of these: http://www.action-led-lights.com/collections/accessories/products/mj-808-808e-replacement-reflector close to the left of your stem (these accessories actually can be bought together from this same place, I use and...

    Best Smart Charger with Enloops

    Good idea. Here's what I've always done: the smallest of Walmart's UPSs is about $40, and is really too small to be good protection for PCs. It works great for small battery chargers. The addition of line/noise filtering and lightning protection doesn't hurt either. Mine has gone strong for...

    To Be Seen: Illuminating the bike and the ground under it

    Can't quote a URL, but I saw, online, a device that addresses this. It was a single self-contained device that strapped to the seat tube and projected on either side a bank of eight white LEDs *FORWARD*, to light up the motion of a cyclist's legs. Designed to hi-light from the hip to the ankle...

    "HIGH" cells with C9000

    In seven years time, I have been keeping the original Ni-Cads in my seven Walmart solar pathway lights (two AAs each) going with periodic reconditioning via the C9000/M808s. All have rust spots or cracked end-seals or so-on. Five cells have shown up as HIGH when seen to be visibly dimming...

    What are the best locally available LSD NiMH's ?

    My Target has Ray-O-Vac hybrids in AA and AAAs, slightly cheaper than any of the standard NimHs; they've responded well to being broken in on the 9000 and soft-recharged on the 808m. Just my two cents. Stu Morrison

    Energizer 2500mah NIMH's failures

    This is exactly what I've done. Once, or even twice through the soft charge/conditioning process will help manage the deteriorization; it's better than chucking them wholesale. Then, attrition over to almost any brand of low self-discharge AAs. Stu Morrison
