Andy Watching Batteries Charge

November 13, 2006

Dear DMC,

I recently bought a new charger for small batteries that has LCD readouts of various things like voltage, charge current, battery capacity, etc.

I realized my eligibility for your club shortly after getting the new charger when my wife walked by my desk and asked what I was doing and I realized that I was, in fact, just sitting there watching batteries charge. It is, of course, much more exciting with the readouts that allow you to actually SEE another milliamp hour go into the battery every few seconds - as opposed to those chargers which only have an LED that blinks for several hours, then turns green when the charging is complete.
