Old were nicad. New are Nimh. Differences? Best way to charge, how
often?

Figure some of the kind folks in here will have knowledge.

Since the charging circuit is designed for NiCad, it might cause
problems with the MiMh battery. I think the problem comes in on the
trickle charge, after the battery has been fully charged. Generally
the rule is, you can charge a nicad on a NiMh charger, but not the
other way around. But hey, if it works, it works.
