I think he's referring to a "conditioning charger", or a "battery burper". They're available for some subset of the rechargable batteries out there. For instance, the campus radio shop has one (or, at least, they used to have one) for Motorola radio batteries.
Such chargers tend to be fairly expensive, though, and I don't know of any for laptop batteries. --- Frank Sorenson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think by special equipment, Mike may be referring to the old > "9-volt battery tester method".
