<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Put it in the freezer and try it for
yourself. But don't forget to try NiCad's the same way and also alkaline.
So after you freeze it over night after a good charge at room temperature do a
controlled discharge with an aileron extension out the top of the
refrigerator freezer door. They stand up probably best of any.
I always buy them at the local shop - Wal-Mart but this time got them at Home
Depot.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ok, I'm sure we're all intimately familiar with
nicads, and lately, we've become all too familiar with lithium-ions and
lithium polymers. (If I never hear about another lithium battery, it'll be too
soon).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What I'd like is some detailed specifics

Hydride.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What's the scoop on fast charging, rates,
