Folks,

I have nearly a truck-load of older military NiCad batteries that need
to find a new home.  These things were used in a mobile, radar-directed
anti-aircraft cannon.  Most are about 11" tall, 3" wide, and about 1"
deep; a few are smaller, maybe 5" tall.  Pix at:

These are 1.2V cells, the smaller battery is rated at 13AH, the larger ones
30AH.

These things are elderly, and I have no idea if they can be brought back to
life again.  There is a procedure for refilling them and charging them
(if I can find it!).  They were originally purchased on the surplus market
with the idea of building an electric vehicle.  Might be able to help with
the associated motor and such, as well, if you're interested.

The price is definitely right:  just come get them!

If there are no takers in the next couple of weeks, they'll get
recycled, if I can figure out how... :)
