RE: Roomba 'FAST' charger

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

As it's a NiMH battery, I suspect it doesn't need draining - I could be
wrong though?



Anyone know if you could use a 'generic' fast charger with this type of
battery?

Not sure - iRobot say it's a specialised device, but then I guess they
would
say that.  I suspect their fast charger totally drains the batt
first,
then
charges it at a higher ampage, but I'm no expert on these things.
Current
eta in the States for the official chargers are mid-January, but
they've
been moving the date back for a while.

Having quite big rooms, my luverly Roomba only manages 2-3 before
squeaking
and dying! Anyone know of a fast charger I could use before the
'official'
one comes out. Surely this is only about matching wiggly-amps? I
presume
it's a straight-forward battery (I know it's NiHM).
