I just got a Handspring Visor Deluxe. I stuck a pair of AAA alkalines and it worked fine, but it was sucking too much batteries. I thought that I would migrate to NiMH since I use NiMH for my mp3 player. I didn't have any AAA NiMH batteries, but I had AAA Renewals (rechargable alkalines). I charged them up, and stuck them in...and now, the problems.
It doesn't start up with the Renewal batteries. I try two pairs, none of them work. They work fine in my graphing calculator. So I figure I would stick the regular AAA back in. I stick it in and it still doesn't work. It doesn't turn on.
What happened? I read that people have no trouble with rechargables. The manual says to use two AAA alkalines, so I thought I'd be safe with rechargable alkalines. It's 1.5V, not 1.2V like NiMH. Did I kill the PDA?
