[time-nuts] Sulzer 5A & 5P PSU/battery question

[Tom Knox]

Hi Magnus;
I have looked several times for an article that explains charging perimeters for the various types of batteries on the market.  So many freq standards have outdated battery technology. It would be nice to find an modern alternative battery that does not require much modification to the charge circuit.
Best Wishes;
Thomas Knox
