No.. I'm just having fun.
BTW I still recommend using a AC-DC adapter to charge your Layman or any other multi cell mod. You can get a more reliable prediction of what the charge current will be, since the chargers are rated in mA.
Adding more AA batteries to your charger will not increase the runtime of your car, it will only charge it faster. However, this is really hard on those tiny cells; it'd be better to charge at a lower rate for a longer time. Then you could get closer to "topping off" the cells without charging them too long and blowing them up. It's like approaching a stop sign at 100mph vs 20mph.. the slower you go, the easier it is to stop right on the line without going over. Using 6 or 8 AA's is way too much voltage, IMHO. I have an adjustable 300mA charger, and I set it to 4.5v to charge a tri-cell car and 3.0v to charge a dual-cell car.
Oh, and does anyone have a peak charger and a few of these button cells? I'd love to see how long a tri-cell would run when fully charged.
