  The old "Hot Seat" trick, huh?  <G>

  I'd far rather have a battery rack & swap one (or more) fresh battery
or batteries in, then pull & recharge the old batteries, no eddy current
problems, no un-needed heat, and I could go lighter on batteries in the
office (just swap in a fresh one & slide the old one into the charger,
less weight during the day)...  And I'd not be worrying about health
risks.
