Does anyone have an idea at what Voltage one should recharge a 14.4V NiCd drill battery at, as oposed to just letting the battery run down by means of drill slowying.
I only ask as I often take my drills battery down too far, as I mistake its low drainage for drilling into somthing hard or go until it completly stops and never charges again.
I have a multimeter and thought it would be just as easy to check the voltage as I do with my 12v Solar ones. I ussually never let those drop below 11.6 Volts which has worked well for me over the years.
What Voltage is getting low for a NiCd, or is this method of using a multimeter not aplicble to nicds?
