Simulate "load" (or whatever) of batteries in classics hooked to chargers? Message #1 Posted by Paul Brogger on 7 Jan 2010, 11:34 a.m.
Here's a question that's probably been asked before . . .
I'm not wanting to keep NiCds in my LED H-P's. I actually use them so infrequently, they just go bad on me. Besides, it's considered bad practice to keep batts in collectibles.
However, I would like to fire 'em up at a moment's notice to show 'em off.
Buuut, I've heard numerous times not to run (most? all?) H-P's on wall power without the batteries in place.
Soooo . . . Is there a way to fake the charging circuit into 'thinking' there are batteries installed, while running on wall power? (Some sort of r/c circuit in place of the batteries?)
It'd sure be cool to be able to flick a power strip switch and have the half-dozen LED calcs (in my little book shelf display) light up all at once!
