I did, Larry. The prices are good for 1100mah batteries. $2.45 each compared to $12.99 for 2 at RadioShack.
But, I didn't want to have another project waiting for parts. (And boy do I have a bunch of projects in progress) Since the HF batteries were also in my possession I decided to install them despite being only 700mah. The NiMH batteries I wanted to use were 2650 mah. FWIW, I could really tell the difference in charge retention when I swapped the previous 1200mah batteries for the HF 700mah batteries. -Luis _____ From: Larry Alster [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2008 9:11 PM To: 'Luis'; 'Miata List'; [email protected] Subject: RE: NMC [NMC] Battery Question: NiCad vs NiMh - Update Did you look at the website someone posted.

But then I found out that the average retailer (Target, Meijer, etc) sell NiMH rechargeable batteries only; no Ni-cad's. Radio Shack still carries Ni-Cads in theory, but all the local stores are out of stock. So, in spite of the mediocre performance and early demise of the previous Harbor Freight Ni-cad batteries, I decided to install another set and hope for the best. I think next time I will buy a new shaver. 3 sets of replacement batteries and one set of replacement heads is enough. Thanks to everyone for their input! -Luis In a message dated 6/22/2008 10:58:24 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Sorry for the NMC question to the unfiltered readers. But since knowledgeable guys hang out here. I have a device (okay, a 12+ year old Norelco shaver) that calls for NiCad Batteries "only". However, I have NiMh batteries handy. Will I ruin the batteries, or the shaver, by using them instead? Since I have to solder them in, II would prefer to avoid replacing them again. BTW, the Harbor Freight NiCad batteries are a complete disappointment. Luis _____ Gas prices getting you down?
