General chemistry is the same, but there's a LOT of variation possible within that general chemistry. All NiMH indicates is that the chemistry uses Nickel Oxyhydride as the Anode and some Metal Hydroxide at the cathode instead of Cadmium (NiCd's use Cadmium). Quite a number of Metal Hydroxides may

All,. JC is correct. The chemistry is the same on all of the NiMH. The different in this hybrid type -- accroding to Sanyo's paper), is the material that they use for cathode. This supposes to reduce the decomposition which causes self-discharge. I have been using Eneloop for the last 18 monts
