To support your statement: The Wii (Nintendo) game systems are very
popular now. If one bothers to read the small print, it states that
alkaline and NiMH batteries are ok to use, but NiCads and Lithium
batteries should not be used. I'm curious why the last 2 are not ok -
any thoughts? Alkaline & Lithium are both 1.5v and NiCad & NiMH are
both 1.2v rechargeables so it doesn't appear to be a voltage problem.
