PS130 Battery

The batteries inside are the the standard batteries you find on the supermarket checkout isle.

They are about as thick as 'c' size batteries, but only 1/2 the height.

Anyone know where i can find the NiMh batteries?

Heck, anyone know if a 3rd party makes the PS130 battery pack in niMh form?
 
Maybe they're Sub-C batteries


And your first link is done wrong.


I know NiCad and NiMH are similar, but it might depend on the charger if they can be used interchangeably.
 
thx.. fixed links.

doh.. forgot about the charger.

nicd chargers probably dont charge nimh batteries 🙁
 
As far as I have read, I don't see any reason that a nicd charger wouldn't charge a nimh batteries. As long as the batteries are the same voltage and the charge rate isn't like super, I think they'd be just fine. Just remember to take them off when you calculate that they have finished charging because over charging them will slowely ruin them.
