Digikey is a phenomenally successful distributor that has grown
exponentially over the last twenty five years. Millions of loyal, repeat
customers find their offerings worth the price. If not, they would have
gone out of business long ago.

after frying a couple of 14 and 18 volt batt packs for my drills iHaving owned many of these, i often wondered on how to get
the most lifetime out of the battery's.
I have had little used 14.4 volt drills that after 2 or 3
years the battery packs become very degraded. I this case,
the drill sits unused for a long period of time, then recharged
before next use.
Laptops, same story. occasional use, sits for awhile then used again.
Batteries are usually rated for so many cycles of recharging.
So, should it be better to constantly recharge the units,
or only charge as needed?
The charge as needed method for units that sit for awhile does not
seem to work out very well. I have a number of drill power packs
that i need to find some of those tab ni-cads for. I think there
c size or such. Anybody with tips on that let me know..
Keeping them constantly plugged in seems to me would use up
there number of charge cycles and shorten life to.
so, whats the best way to get the most out of rechargeable battery
packs?
And how can hybrid cars get 10 years out of a battery pack
when i am lucky to get 2 or 3 out of most of the packs i have?
I do see online how some of the early gen Prius packs are failing
much to the owners displeasure.

It's plain stupid using unregulated chargers in this day and age asafter frying a couple of 14 and 18 volt batt packs for my drills i
discovered the supplied 2amp wall warts were over kill for unregulated
recharging of the batterie packs
instead i found a smaller 750ma wall wart to do the job.
now even after 2months of sitting on the shelf my new battery packs
still hold their charge.
The Prius maintains its batteries at between 50-80% of full charge.

Digi Key is not RONCO.
Don't bet on it.
What a silly remark. Digi-Key is a major component supplier that's been
around about 20 years. They sell no consumer products.
They'll sell whatever manufacturers have to sell, at 2-10x the
going price. Sounds a lot like Ronco to me, though their online
catalog is better.

They are older than that. they started with a kit of parts for a
electronic keyer for morse code, hence their name of Digi-key. It was
based on an article in a US amateur radio magazine, and they placed a
tiny ad for the kits.

And still doesn't achieve any more mpg than some non-hybrid cars. What a waste of time. I'm waiting for an ALL-electric car that can do over 70 miles range (that's my commute) and do at least 80mph. I think there is one just out, but it's Ł10 grand. I want a 2nd hand one.bob urz wrote:
