Re: Battery problems

It is a known fact that charging NiCad battery packs like the NXT, when hot will cause sufficient problems to eventually kill the battery. Repeated charge discharge cycles on warm to hot batteries will cause premature failures of some or all of the cells within the pack. There is also a temperature fuse in some of the packs that will open under these conditions.
