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.

Noted. Thanks.
Of course, in most sets, you can't simply add a couple more batteries.
