RE: NaCD batt. charging
A NiCd (Nickel Cadmium) charger can charge any size battery you put on it. Some just take longer than others. The best charger to use is a intellapeak charger. These will do all the work for you.
Are you sure he has a Nicd battery and not a NiMh battery. Most NiCd batteries in general only go to about 3000 mah. The NiMh are the big ones.

Nicads go up to 2400 size havent seen any bigger,dont try charging a nimh battery on a nicad charger tho bad ideal lol
i charge my 1900 and 2400 on a cheap nicad quick charger no problems tho the 2400 takes a bit longer than the 1900

I have 2 panasonics that are about 3 yrs old. I only use them in my roto starts not my electrics. granted now days I dont think you can find nicd that big anymore because of nimh. They are sub c too.
