I'm sure there are others who can, and will, explain it in more
technical terms, but the problem is, the voltage quickly drops
below 3 volts, which means, in technical terms, stuff don't work
right no more. In a flash, this just means gradually, and not
particularly noticeable, longer recharge times.
Walt, still remembering (and pissed about) the only time I used
one.
