Cool, Im very interested in how the little bugger goes. I have 2 down in the Skunkworks working away again on test. Im trying to find a way of telling when the battery has got as good as it can be after the process. I also found a coupla thermistors to try and make Mark 8 version with "feedback" so it can adjust itself to suit the condition of the battery. More improvements are in the pipeline, like a "computer controlled" version using either a PIC 16F84 or an Arduino (because I have some of each of them and need an excuse to play with 'em)(Google that stuff 
)
Last time I got bored around this time 'o the year, I built a "computer controlled" Christmas tree star, thing still works, I'll video it later and bung it up on youtube, it uses a PIC chip and a dunny load of different coloured LED's mounted in an old plastic star thing.
I WAS going to make a string 'o Christmas lights that go to music with my Arduino, but I (as usual) got sidetracked.
See what happens when Nerds get bored Ow well havin an early nite tonite, buggered meself up muckin about in the shed. 
Ahh NERDS.
