Regarding
NiMH Rebuild *
I make my own Nicad and NiMH clusters for these control packs. NiMH rebuilds come with a special charge instructions.
These cells can be quite sensitive to overcharging. Cells can be damaged or destroyed if left charging overnight with the original
Olympus charger. You could say the original Olympus Nicad Charger is "stupid" compared to modern NiMH chargers. It can't tell when
the pack is charged. For this reason, Olympus charger MUST be plugged into a timer which will shut it off after 12-14 hours (for a
FULL charge only). After limited or light use, topping off the charge is safe but it must be limited and timed. Recharging
time is experimental and it is the responsibility of the end user to determine the best times for a full charge or topping off. To
Recap: NiMH cells have the benefeit of being rechargeable at any point without developing memory defects. They are sensitive
to overcharging. No warranty on packs which are overcharged. Though the AA designation would suggest they are smaller
than the nicad 1/3A cells, these are almost identical in physical size. Nicad clusters were made up of 1/3A, 250mah
cells ( x 12). Thank you to Jim Baker for charging tips.

Repair Prices

Most repairs are done at these prices. Actual priced (which may be higher) determined after hand inspection and partial dis-assembly
of your camera equipment. You will be notified if there are additional costs. Parts and shipping extra. See
HERE.
*The upside to NiMH cells are that they CAN be topped off without developing nicad-type memory effects. Topping off nicads
constantly creates a premature point at which the nicad appears to be dead or require charging again. Downside of NiMH is that
their self-discharge rate is slightly higher that nicad cells, and are sensitive to overcharging.
Nicads can also be used, please mention which type you want!
No "partial" repairs here, prices shown are for complete overhauls. All prices "...and up". Prices higher for fungus, impact, sand, water or tampering.
