Re: LED BIAS vs LEAD ACID BATTERY

what bias voltage were you trying to get???

an interesting aside... the use of a rechargable battery in the cathode is known as "Kotei" bias in an old joenet post from reid welch it stated that the direct heating folks preferred lead acid kotei to nicad.

i found i like nimh batteries (two AA nimh in series for -2.7V on a 6C45) best and high capacity nicads better than Lead acid cells... and once you get past 3-4 seriesed cells i tend to prefer the more traditonal R/C combo... (remember that the 6V lead acid cells are just a bunch of lower voltage (2v?) cells in series...

has anybody else compared the various batteries in kotei bias?
