You might also want to check out a set of NiZn batteries; I've mentioned them here before but don't know if anyone ever tried them.
They have a nominal voltage of 1.6V and solve the early shutdown problem, usually with a capacity of 2500 to 2800 mWh (equivalent to approx. 1500 to 1700 mAh). They do require a special charger though, and trickle-charging is not recommended. m ----- Original Message ----- From: Kurt McCullum To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2018 10:04 AM Subject: Re: [M100] NEC 8201 rechargeable battery packs and BERG jacks I purchased them through eBay. But I went back this morning to see if the seller was still selling them and they are no longer listed. They are 480 ma cells so two banks gives 960ma. There are other sellers. Most from China but you are looking 1/3AA batteries with tabs. Sometimes you can find them stacked as 3 in one like I did and that saves some time.

Is there any simple mod (such as the added resistor near the batteries for the M100) that allows the 8201 to charge rechargeable batteries in a standard battery pack when plugged in?
