I for one agree with Clint. Forsale posts belong in comp.robotics.

I have gotten great deals on robotics items through this newsgroup,
and I also have given great deals to people on this group.

Please go through your junkboxes, and advertise your goodies on this
group.

PLEASE put a FORSALE in your subject line so people can easily
delete the posts if they don't want to see them.


By the way, I have found a stash of Gates CYCLON 2.0 Volt 5.0 Amp-hour
batteries at a local surplus shop (MPC for locals)

The price is $25.00 for 44 cells!!!

I have charged, and discharged a battery of 6 cells, and I only got
about 3 Amp-hours at 0.2 Amps load, so I don't think I got them charged
completely.

Does anyone have information about how to charge these guys?

And if anyone wants them, I can get them and sell them to you. (For a price)

Remember that these suckers are heavy. 44 cells is about 50 pounds!
