Do Impres chargers "protect" non-impres batteries better? I always keep track of how long I charge standard nicad saber and jedi batteries when using the stock saber and jedi fast chargers. Do the impres chargers switch into a true "safe" trickle charge mode if I left a battery in the charger overnight?
Yeah, I know, get impres batteries. I'll get some some day, just not anytime soon it looks like.

Good Impres lithium-ion batteries for XTS radios are
now selling for about $20 each on eBay, which is less
than non-Impres Saber batteries cost these days.

I make it a point not to read posts too thoroughly; saves time! (G)
Seriously, why is it that the XTS stuff is suddenly so much less
expensive than the Saber Impres batteries? I can't find decent
Saber batteries these days from anyone I'd trust for anything
like a fair price.
