NiMh battery in a cordless phone that has NiCad as standard ?
 

The NiCds (600-maH) have died in a cordless phone. Can anyone think of
any problems replacing with NiMhs. I just happen to have some NiMhs
and no NiCds.

The phone is a BT Synergy something.

TIA,

Jon C.

I replaced the batteries in my BT Synergy 2110 with NiMh and have had
no problems,
last a lot longer than the old ones!

In general the two are interchangeable, but there are subtle nuances of
fast charging NiMh that may be an issue if NOT trickle charging...

Thank you, everyone. The NiMhs are now in the handset.

BTW, is it just me, but is there not a real information deficit and the
charging requirements of rechargables? Most batteries (and their
packaging) give no information on charging; difficult, I suppose, if
there are a rangle of charger types.

I have one charger that gives minimal suggestions on charging times;
but another -- nothing.

Best regards,

A half decent charger should cut out after the battery is charged or go to
a maintenance charge - but don't expect this with a cheap power tool.
There are types available which will cope with different numbers of cells
and both Ni-Cad and NiMH. Mascot is one make.
This might also help.
