Miniflyer, best you check out something like rcbatteryclinic.com or something before making such statements. Not only are they missleading, they are wrong. For instance the alkaloid open circuit voltage is 1.55, not 1.5; and most NiCads will top off well above 1.5 volts per cell. Perhaps I should not even have replied to this post but when gross miss info is put forth, I couldn't refrain.
