i got the 2000mah from ed but have no way to discharge them.what is a easy way of doing that besides turning it on and leaving there tell they go dead.

BTW they run the piss out of a digital camera.
 
ok SA but i was wanting is some kind of discharger that i can plug into the radio or something like that.
 
You really shouldn't need to discharge them.
Back in the Nicad days I just used an old flashlight or radio.


:D Nice Batts aren't they? :D
 
LOL did you just call me a stupid ass?

Do you see any plugs in the radio where you could plug one in?
 
1st answer no it was smart ass
2nd no but i would like to put one in just don't quite know what i want or how i'm going to do it.or were to get one.
 
and ed there great my digital camera has never lasted longer & in my in my radio i have no idea when it is going to die but if it proves to be anything like the camera :dance: this what i dont want

this is the girlfriend. and nothing lasts long enough for me.


sorry, she was watching when it came up.:x :x
 
Now THAT is what I call a 'good catch'! You need to keep her man!

Any woman with enough guts to admit it is a woman for me! errrr in this case, you.

Our toy collection is outrageous!

The only concern I would have, is her saying, well, "Nothing lasts long enough for me." Cause that would mean you too! hehehe
 
What type of batteries are they? If they are NiCd then discharging them is a very good thing to keep them from ever forming a memory effect and extending the life span of the batteries.

If they are NiMH then DONT discharge them. You can actually ruin NiMH batteries by doing that. Due to the nature of the NiMH they actually NEED to have some charge left on them not to go bad. Especially if you are going to store them for any length of time. Always fully charge NiMH batteries before you put them away for the winter.

Also, you really shouldnt use the same charge for NiCD as you would for NiMH unless your charger is specifically designed to charge NiMH. NiMH has a tendancy to can give a false peak reading and can cause you to over or under charge your batteries.
 
damn robriguez just wrecked the vibrator thread.

Have you woman try one of these: :banana:

LMAO!!! but where would the batteries go??? lol.

maybe we can have christians wife give everyone a demonstration?
 
Yeah I'm a bit of a party pooper sometimes.

I dont believe dancing banannas require batteries. I think they are solar powered.
 
the one modeled in this picture: :banana: just keeps going and going and going and going
