The biggest risk I suspect with NiMH rather than LiON batteries is their leaking and causing corrosion. They could also overheat when charging but it would have to be quite extreme to do damage. There is always a tiny risk of explosion but NiMH are much much more stable than laptop batteries. I would say though that the overall risk is low but crap batteries are generally crap they don't hold charge long and don't last many charge cycles. You may well be replacing them sooner than you thought. -- Jaicee ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jaicee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=45802 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75056 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
