 | | using ni-cads in parallel
|
| Ni-cads have really low internal resistance. If the two packs start off at different levels of charge, you may have a problem with lots of current flowing between the packs when you first connect them. I'd recommend moving to a larger pack rather (...) (29 years ago, 6-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| (...) This is generally not a problem. If you get a 7.2v strip of C-cells from a hobby store (this is a 5 cell battery) they can deliver about 150 amps for a short while. You are correct that charging NiCds in parallel has issues. I guess the (...) (29 years ago, 6-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| Don't do this. First off, you won't get more current, nicads already can deliver gobs of current, enough to be dangerous. You want more amp-hours, not more instantaneous amperage. Secondly you will have problems with cells charging each other. I (...) (29 years ago, 6-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| (...) Yes. My problem is that my motors draw somewhere around 2 amps average, and the AA pack I have is rated at 600mAh. This isn't much fun, I'm tempted to leave the thing plugged in instead of charging it every few minutes! It's really not tooo (...) (29 years ago, 7-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
