The old 9.6V. Brings back memories! Back in the "old days", like, 1985, we didnt have proper chargers. Or at least not ones my family could afford. Charging was done by a pair of alligator clips to the car battery on Dad's Ford LTD station wagon. I knew nothing of voltage at the time and didnt know the positive charging cable was a resistor wire that cut the voltage from 12 volts to 9.6, so the length was crucial. I cut it down for some reason I cant remember and ended up sending more than 9.6 volts to the battery pack. Came back 15 minutes later to check on my charge and found a melted battery pack on the front fender of dad's car. He was none too happy!
