I haven't tried this on the BB600's, but I bought it for my leaf cell upgrade on my zeon hustler.

If i get a chance i'll try it on the NiCds. But i highly doubt that'll be any time soon. Gotta get the Zeon running and other projects done 1st.

So my charger is insane. I'm guessing bad diodes (again) as the charger
is only drawing about 2a from the 110v outlet. Disconnecting the
capacitor drops that to <1a with a 20% PF so I think the cap is working.

Before I pull the charger (again) and replace the diodes (again) what
options are there for a good onboard charger? The only NiCD/NiMH one I
can find is a 1.5a charger which will take about 45 hours to charge the
pack.

BB600 NiCDs, charge to about 44 volts with the timer to keep things from
melting.
