explosion!
Hope this photo uploads properly - my first attempt. Assuming it did, this is what my 8 cell NiMH looks like after charging it today. Think it got enough juice? So, what happened? I charged this battery pack two months ago and it's been sitting in storage, unused, since. Same charger (Prophet Sport, 4 - 8 cell NiCd & NiMH charger, 1 or 2 amp setting), same setting ( 1 amp), correct polarity. Blew up about two hrs into the charge. The charger has an auto shift to "maintain charge" after full charge. I hope it was the battery and not the charger, but I'm afraid to put another battery on it. Any ideas? Can I test the charger or does it have to go back to the factory?
