HTH,


Lithium AAs are disposable, never attempt to charge one. Lithium
rechargeable cells are completely different electrically from NiCD and
NiMH, the latter two being virtually identical. Li cells are more than
double the voltage of the other chemistries, and require intelligent
charging circuits to avoid damage or fire.

Huh? NiCd and NiMH identical?

I don't think so, Tim.
