No, do NOT fill them first. As those of us who have a bunch of BB600 military NiCd's found, just charge them first. Then, if they are still low after being fully charged, you can add water. They can look dry - still charge them first! -- Try my Sensible Email package! https://sourceforge.net/projects/sensibleemail/ _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
