Wow! Thanks, Jerry- "Everything I Ever Wanted to Know About Batteries But Was Afraid I Get Charged"!
I'm going to keep this reply of yours like I've done with the majority of the information you've given me: I'll make a hard paper copy of it, roll it into a tube, and hit myself in the head with it until the information sinks in!
Seriously- I appreciate all the electro-chemical reaction and TLC information. I will put it to good use.
Thanks again.
