Hmm... Good info. I just happened to have these batteries (2 19.2s and 1 14.4) lying around and I can get the regulators from work so I made do with what I had.
The SLA I have is 3" x 3" x 4" so really it's not THAT big, and not much larger than the drill batts. I just don't have the right trickle charger for it and I figured I'd blow it up using my car battery charger!
One thing I also am considering is an 10-gang AA NiMH set which would be super light and compact and have more energy (2.2-2.6 Amp-hours vs 1.5 Amp-hours) than even my bigger drill battery. The SLA does have 4.5 AH though so it does win the endurance challenge.
Got any links to the chargers you guys use?
