magnets to solve problem?

[LIGHTSMAD]

i recently bought a nimh 1/2D cell to add to my mag charger 5D 1/2D cell pack, but it has a flat top instead of a button top,

can i use small magnets for this or will that affect the batterys in anyway?

Yes, you can use a magnet as a spacer. They are even sold for that specific purpose. Best would likely be a nickle plated neodymium magnet of the right thickness. Heaps are sold in all shapes and sizes on ebay. Dealextreme sell them also.

Hi LightsMad,

I recently purchased some RE magnets so I can perform maintenance charges to my Ni-Mh 2/3A Elite 1500mAh batteries so I can charge them in my PowerEX MH-C801D charger every so often. I don't know if 8mm RE magnets are the correct size you need, but this retailer has all different types. Anyway, here is what I have.

It'd just drop some solder on top, I don't care for the magnets.
