Hello to All, My brother has been in electronics for over 25 years and he told me there is No Way that a rechargable could damage a camera motor. Rechargables always have a little less voltage than the regular batteries they replace. (1.25 volts to 1.5 volts for instance) To settle the issue, I

When I was doing those Nimh tsts I also mesured the amperage of the cells, the best alkaline battery testd at 1.6V 40~50 ma, a 1600 mah nimh battery was 1.3v 130-140 ma, now remember your puttting 4 of these in a fg battery pack, so 4 regular or rechargable alkalines will provide 160-200 ma to

No Way may be correct. However, the relative voltages my not be the issue here. Of more interest at high duty cycles/loads or in case of component failure maybe short circuit current capability, which relates to the internal resistance of the different types of battery cells under high load
