well you are probably right about the voltage if you have fresh alkalines but im not gona change batteries every other day to achieve this(i havnt tested yet). but anyhow he has high grade test equipment. mostly hp(yes the printer guys) meters and a really stable power supply with big analog meters. next time im up there ill take a picture of his bench.

i dont know the numbers but he hooked the power supply up to the controller(no batteries) and simulated two batteries and nothing charged. when he upped it to the equivalant of 3 batteries it charged. i use a 4 battery charger because i already have one. it still takes two or three cycles to achieve a full charge on my dual 100mah nicd batteries. we did this on two cars with dual batts same results on both.
