Default NICD vs NIMH batteries
wrote:

I have a portable CD player which specifies using either alkaline or
rechargeable NICD batteries .

Should it be acceptable to use NIMH also?

I am wondering whether the charging rates are so different for the two
rechargeable types that the NIMH, or the charging circuit, might be
damaged.




Its possible. Nimh need slower and more critical charhing on 'fast
charge' (about 1 hr max for NiMh.

But the chances are its a trickle charger anyway. So NiMh will be fine.
