Walt,
I speak with filmmakers, cameramen (film and video) and lightcrew almost
every day. They use the best of chargers and very expensive accus. They
report ongoing problems. Every time they throw away a 150 dollar 12V pack,
they waist 9 cells just because 1 is blown out completelly. Very troublesome
for the users and very good business for the pack-makers.
I make new cellpacks for them, with loose 6Ah D-size cells and a very simple
current limited slow charger. (say 6-15 hours) With loose cells and 2
chargers, they can even charge a 12v set from the car battery.
I believe in battery packs and fast charge when I see it work on my bench. I
admit though, that it works okay when the load is fairly low and the charge
is fairly slow. Perhaps you can thank your HHB for your good experiencies?
I use fast chargers only to my cell-phones. I have to buy new packs 2-3
times per year.
Klas.
