SOOOO...

In my little airsoft adventure, I decided to charge up my 8.4V 2100mah NiCad with the charger I just got from Reaper, a Radio Shack fast charger. Anyways, the light that appears to let you know if it's charging or it's done turned off after about 30-40 seconds of charging... I didn't believe it could be charged, it was dead when I tried it in my gun, an ICS MP5-A4, beforehand (and my friend's multimeter reported voltage at 8.04V). Of course, 30 seconds of charging wasn't enough, though ater about letting it do 30 sec charges for a couple of times, I was able to hear my gun "click", though not shoot BBs. Gut feeling battery was still too low, and my friend's meter was in his room, so I decided not to attempt to wake him up... Well, decided not to proceed to look for it after I nearly crushed his head by stepping on it in an attempt to seek out his meter (:lol: - he was on a mattress, in his computer room, where the meter is - his room was too hot sleep).

I figured I could tape down the "start charging" button... I only let it charge for about 50 minutes... Oops... It's reporting voltage at 9.57V. :lol:
