A super cap will work that is not the problem. The issues come down to making 
one fit, holding it in place, and that it does not back up nearly as long as 
the original NiCad did. None of these may be deal breakers for someone, I 
thought it was fun to try. For the average user popping in a NiMh is easier as 
it is a direct swap and works the same way the NiCad did.

Hi Everybody,

 

I used a 0.22F Super Capacitor and it worked beautifully - It is only used to 
power the RAM when you are changing batteries, so I don't understand why it 
would be an issue.  It gives me over 20 minutes of battery out time, while I 
scour kitchen drawers looking for AAs.




Kindest regards,

 

Doug Jackson
