   The slow charging was probably a GOOD THING, relatively
   speaking ... would not cook/explode the batteries.

   NiMH batteries are even worse than NiCad ... you literally
   have to monitor how HOT they get. When the temperature
   suddenly goes up, they're fully charged.

   LiPo ... slower IS better, 95% IS better than trying
   for 100%. The damned things LOVE to explode. I've
   seen tech stories that like HALF the LiPo batts in
   the USA are factory REJECTS.

   HAD one explode in my office once ... it hadn't been
   recharged for months. Barely BRUSHED it with my arm
   and it went off. Big crimson flames, massive noxious
   smoke, small burn on my arm. I just *really* don't
   trust the things. Have some big LiPo batts for large
   drills and such ... I charge 'em and then KEEP THEM
   IN THE OVEN (which I never use for cooking). If they
   explode, perfect heat-proof place.

   Hmmm ... when I retired, a fellow made a 'character'
   reference - upon seeing me just calmly watching the
   battery spurt huge flames. Hey, nothing to DO about
   it after all ... !  :-)
