What do you mean, either by "fit" or "in parallel"? For fit, the original nicd cell is a standard size with two legs soldered in to the motherboard. The replacement nicd or nimh are the same size. The same two legs fit in the same place the same way. And there is no issue of mixing different type

I can't help but wonder if there is not a cordless phone battery pack that might actually fit. I know there are ones that use (3) AAA cells and others that use what appears to be 2/3 "AA". The diameter to work with is 15mm or less. These are all NiMH from what I have looked at. I did order a

Oh what a great idea using a cap. Not just that. I had already heard of doing that, but the caps discharge time is shorter than a battery, so I didn't really consider it a good answer except for the fun of trying it. But anyone can make themselves a REX now, and REX provides among other things, o

I went a little different route with mixed success. I bought some high capacity capacitors. They worked perfectly in my 102 and 8201. But when I tried one in my 200 it wouldn't turn off, so I had to remove it and go back to the a NiCad battery. The longest test I tried with the AA batteries removed
