That is, putting rechargable batteries into seperate chargers and then loading them back into a single pack. Presumably, one designed to not have batteries soldered together.
What I'm getting at, is first matching batteries, always using them together in a homemade pack, but charging them in individual chargers. All the same type of chargers.
If this sounds more trouble than it's worth, it still solves some problems.
For one, it's easy to buy smaller chargers (4 or 8 batteries at a time). Thus, matching pack size never matters. Plus, I can more or less determine the capacity of the packs I make (amp hours) and what number of types I'm satisfied with. Also, I can probably save money buying some batteries in bulk.
And finally, once I've made a reusable pack, that's most of the hard part gone. I can replace springs (for pressure) as needed.
Workable? Un-workable?
