Call Paul Sanderson at 800 FAST440.  I am sure he can tell you.

As for fast charging a regular battery -- this is not recommended.  Fast
charging produces a lot of heat.  In fact, a "thermistor" is what tells the
charger to stop charging and it is activated by heat.  Conventional nicads
(ones NOT designated for fast charging) will be quickly destroyed by rapid
charging.

Thank goodness the SAT III uses nickel metal hydride.  Much better !
