I don't know the cons and I have used NiMH batteries in several
devices whose manuals did not say it was allowed to do so. In manuals
accompanying older equipment manufacturers sometimes warned against
use of NiCd batteries and I would say that the same would apply to
newer NiMHs. Perhaps one of the problems is the lower volatage: 1.2
against 1.5 of disposable batteries.
