I got replacement NiMH instead of NiCD. As far as I can tell, they can drop in to NiCD charging circuits.
But then after the fact, I saw conflicting info about whether nimh were higher mah capacity and less memory effect, but that they may self-discharge faster sitting on the shelf, but then again that modern nimh are fine and that was just early nimh... Just go on ebay and search "3.6v 80mah nimh" and pick any one that has the barrel shape with 2 legs. -- bkw On May 30, 2017 4:01 PM, "James R.
