My understanding:

you can charge this thing at .1C which means .1 * max current which
means 70 mA for approx 10 hours.  "Volts don't matter, current does"
it says here :-)  ("here" being the non-parity-checked ram of my brain!)

Dont' trust anything I say - I've never had any luck with NiCds
lasting more than about 1 month.  But the above is what everybody
else says is true ;-)
