Malcolm Fisher Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Try to recharge, and see what happens. If you have a charger which can do a charge/discharge cycle, that might tell you whether the capacity is reduced or not, and by how much. I've left NiCd batteries in the same way you have done, and they seem to be OK after "cycling". No experience of NiMH in that situation.

Tim Mackey Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 It should be OK - its LiPo that mustn't be left to drain empty. Do as Malcolm says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Mackey Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Do they ? I must say I have not come across these ( however I dont generally buy /use Nickel based packs these days ) However, the last ones I did buy a few weeks ago had no such PCM - although these devices are quite common in some Lithium packs.

Tim Mackey Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 You can still use them on NiMH if you make sure the packs are removed when full.., the charge process is the same its just the delta peak detect thats different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
