Over the weekend, I got bitten by a NiCd battery that won't recharge...
The camera is about 7 years old, but lightly used. If I have about 100
rolls through it, that's a lot. It has been sitting unused in the safe for
the last 2 years.
I decided to break it out on Saturday and realized that the battery needed
charging. When placed into the charger, the red light goes on for 5
seconds, goes out, goes on for five seconds, goes out, and then the one
flash every 15 second routine which means that it's on slow charge.
However, when I put the battery into the camera, there's no power for
anything.
Will this battery just "die" from sitting around? Is there anything I can
do to give it a kick start? I tried swapping the fuse, but the old one was
in good repair so this tactic did nothing...
Any help, greatly appreciated!
