No worries, just wanted to set the record straight!

The properties of rechargeable batteries are totally non-intuitive. But fortunately there are only 4 common types: NiCD, NiMH, Lead-acid, and Li-ion. Having an online reference is really helpful. I recommend that everyone who uses expensive battery packs refers to it, so as to get the longest life out of them.
