- Does anyone have any further info on RECHARGEABLE lithium batteries ???
- I have seen this mentioned several times now. I had always heard that it
- was (explosively) too dangerous to recharge lithium batteries. Is this
- some type of special charger ??? Also what is the price of such a battery?
-
- Any way please email me if you have any info, I don't read this group as
- much as I would like to.
-
- Thankx ...
