Rich, keep in mind what the main competition is. Most people who use
nicads buy the Solectria charger, amp-hour meter, and interface. Add up
the prices and you'll see that, compared to that, $250 is a bargain.
Heck, $1500 for the isolated charger plus $500 for the data pack is
~still~ a deal by comparison.
Besides, amp-hour replacement is a darn good algorithm for ~any~ battery,
not just nicads. It eliminates all the temperature compensation
headaches.
Hmm, does Ampro still make the little board computers? I wonder if one
could be adapted to this use.
