Ok I got my new battery installed and it seems to be not getting power from

Agreed.
There are some differences between NiCd and NiMH charging recommendations, but
according to the Panasonic literature the standby Trickle charging currents are
exactly the same.

Where is that stated about Trickle Charging, I don’t see it in the M102

The M102 service manual says the trickle charge is at 1.2mA, and some batteries
may not be as tolerant.

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.

I like to do this anyway (and not just with m100s), because I find myself

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 mo
I really need to replace my nicad. Thanks for the reminder thread.

This brings up an interesting point. Having just replaced my NiCad I think
I'm going to use my label maker to leave a note about when it was replaced

I do have a REX, and would be happier just removing the NiCad. Would there

Believe it or not I think the backup battery is a core feature of the model
t that sets it apart from others.
When you have a ram file system it’s critical to have that kept alive so
you don’t lose your work.
I guess if you’re religious about managing the batteries it doesn’t matter.

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.

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?
