Well, they're NiMhs, which have been around sof some years now. If you
try charging them with a NiCd charger they probably won't like it.

Why's that?

Different terminal (fully charged) voltage, different charge/voltage
characteristics, different leakage (trickle) currents under charge

Unfortunately this is an American site;
does anyone know if microprocessor-controlled chargers
are available here (in the UK/EU)?
