Are 'modern' DAB radios designed to work with the lower voltage you get from
NiMH (1.2V compared with 1.5V for non-rechargeable)? I've not tried it
lately, but I recall that my DAB radio (my ONLY DAB radio) doesn't last long
on rechargeables - maybe only an hour or two. After that, it will keep going
for some time on FM.


I have one that takes C size cells and it just doesn't work with
rechargable. I tried with some old nicads. It works if I put an extra
two into the circuit.

I have a couple of Roberts dab radios that have a switch to select battery
type. These seem OK.
