I need to get some rechargeable batteries for powering an art exhibit. The batteries are powering six constantly on sensor units which each draw 16 mA, and which occasionally cause small relays to be triggered. The exhibit needs to be able to operate without power problems for 8 to 10 hours, and can be recharged at night. Not sure whether nicad or lead acid batteries or some-other are the most suitable. Would appreciate an outside opinion.. Am slightly worried about high current possible with lead acid batteries could somehow fry my electronics, but am also worried that nicad batteries won't last long enough, or that they will suffer from 'memory effect' and leave the exhibit conked out in the middle of the day. Any thoughts? _________________________________________________________________ Join the world s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
