#160054 - Batteries die. Get over it. ;-)

What is it that makes some chargers work so effectively, while others seem to work barely at all?


A half decent ni-cad charger must be a constant current charger, the cheapest devices just use a resistor. Many devices can get away with it.

Why do consumers tolerate such poor performance of, in many cases, very costly appliances?

Everyone knows batteries don't last.

Wouldn't you think that manufacturers would have figured out how to manage this problem by now?

Everyone knows batteries don't last.....
And there is an AWFUL amount of ignorance about charger design.
