I remember seeing back in the good old days (when I still had time to play
around with a soldering iron) plans for a device for loading NiCd accumulators
with some kind of a pulsed system.  The article (I believe it was in Elektor
or some such hobby-electronics magazine) claimed that this lengthened the life
of NiCd cells, since "bridging" in the cells was eliminated by the high-
amperage pulses (no flames, I might be totally misquoting this -- it's a long
time).  Anyway, I suddenly now have a bunch of essentially dead NiCd's I'd
like to play games with.  Anyone have pointers on this, ideas on effectiveness
etc. ?  Responses via email, please.  If there is larger interest, I'll sum.
