Yes, if you buy batteries for N * 100K $money, spending more money on your charger is a good investment. But if you have two batteries doing float-charge/long-run/tiny-load, in a benign environment in a corner of your lab, the internal variance between batteries in that same production lot, will overshadow any imaginable benefit a fancy charger could bring. >I haven't worked with Gel cells in a while so they may indeed be easier. They are for the same reasons they suffer cyclic use better. But for a float/long-run application, it makes absolutely no difference. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com To unsubscribe, go to http://lists.febo.com/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts_lists.febo.com and follow the instructions there.
