I'm interested in designing and building a fast-rate nicad charger
probably using a "dump-and-time" technique where you discharge
the cells to place them in a known state, then charge at a high rate
for a timed period.  I've been told that you must be careful about
how you discharge cells in series because if some cells are weaker than
others, they may be forced into a reverse current state and be damaged.

Given this is true, is there a proven technique for the fast and safe
discharging of nicad cells?  Should you discharge them individually?
Discharging in series would certainly be simpler.

thanks,
