[RE-wrenches] Ni-Fe update?

[Darryl Thayer]

I concur with the other writers. They have low charge efficiency, Although
that is not a killer.  the voltages are as David says, but the discharge
drops below 1.2 volts with surges.  I have heard of a battery fire with one
set, perhaps it was due to low water as David suggest.  They seem to need a
lot of water,  The only special value is they do not freeze.  However the
output current drops when cold.
