Replace Dem Nicads Message #4 Posted by Steve on 28 Apr 1999, 8:50 p.m., in response to message #1 by Richard McEvoy
The problem is probably due to the NiCad's falling into a deep sleep after being unused for some time. Often they will be very hard to rouse.
It may be better to gently remove them from their bed and place them in another place to sleep, replacing them with new NiCads that are wide awake and ready to work for you.
On the other hand, a friend of mine just resurected his nicads in an HP calculator by subjecting them to a VERY high charge current for a short time. This can ressurect NiCads, but obviously has some risks associated with it.
