I just received an HP41 Nicad pack from a person I contaced via the classified ads section.
RELAX -- The pack's great, this is not a complaint :-D
It has a date code that indicates it was manufactured mid 1994. That's quite recent. I was surprised. Should I have been?
When was the last of these manufactured? I assume it would have been near the end of the 5 years of support after the HP41 was withdrawn. When was that?
It's settled down to hold a charge of around 5.6V after being on charge for about 12 hours (it was 5.85V just after charging). Is this reasonable? It's somewhat higher than the nominal 4.8V for a 4 cell pack.
Gee, so much I don't know.
