Re: [M100] batteries...

My replacement battery specifically said NiCd when I ordered it. I never even looked at the battery when I installed it, but coincidentally just this past weekend I happened to look closely at the 2nd one (it came in a 2 pack) and noticed it was NiMH not NiCd. I was planning to to some research

The thing about NiMH, is the level of trickle charge that they can tolerate is a bit less than NiCD. Might not be good in the long run. On Fri, Mar 9, 2018 at 5:00 PM, Jim Anderson wrote: > > -Original Message- > > > > This brings up an interesting point. Having

Re: [M100] batteries...

I wonder if nimh leak the way nicd do eventually? My replacement batteries are all nimh instead of the original nicd. Or, if a new nimh or nicd is actually certain to leak in 20 or 30 years just because the original ones did? Maybe better tech means they won't leak? Or maybe the opposite, maybe

I meant to say, the only harm it does is, it harms the next owner, in that they may or may not like the idea that their M100 has been modified in this way.​ It's arguable both ways though. You could say that by removing the battery, you are removing all possibility of it leaking an corroding the

The reason for replacing the internal nicd is that they’re 20+ years old. They are in the process of failing and leaking corrosive material on the printed circuit board damaging it. — John.

Re: [M100] batteries...

Besides not having a backup if your main batteries suddenly go bad, is there any other reason to replace the battery? I have REX, and I have not replaced my backup battery. Just wanted to make sure I'm actually doing any harm? On Wed, Mar 7, 2018 at 12:00 PM, Gregory McGill

I recently replaced mine with a battery from eBay. I checked my history and the seller no longer has them but if you search for something like "60mAh 3.6v ni-cd button cell tab" you should find a few suitable replacements. I know lots of people use super capacitors instead but I don't have any
