Hi all,
Have not posted here in ages - kinda busy at work. Anyway, I want to build a new battery canister for my homemade video lights and wanted to get thoughts on NiCd vs. NiMH vs. SLA. I know there has been some discussion on this in the past but looking for fresh discussion - sorry for possible repeat topic. Also, the SLA cansiter I built 5 years ago was designed / built with 12v's worth of batteries but I've read about overdriving and that with time batteries will not achieve their actual full 1.2 volt (individual cell) charge. Any advice / opinion on design size of canister - 12v or 13.2v and your reasons for this?
Thanks,
Mike G.
