Jeffrey,
The short answer is "yes". They can die from sitting around. It
happened to one of mine. You can try to revive it by discharging
completely and then re-charge. Repeat this cycle a few times. It may
work. The Rollei Charger-C has a discharging circuit. Earlier Rollei
chargers do not have this facility. Another way is using a 6 - 10
Volt light bulb for discharging. I will send a small JPG showing the
pins to use to your private mail box .
At the end of the day mine had to be rebuilt.
Ferdi.

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!
