When I got the digital camera,
I had to get the NIMH batterys and the charger.
then I said;
Why buy alkalines any more ?
and I switched my radios to NIMH batts too.

Now here's food for thought;
A pair of alkalines measure 3.1 v
A pair of NIMHs measure 2.4 v 2.6 v

Would the lower voltage affect the performance
of any of these "3 volt radios" ?

????

I had a scanner once that squealed when you turned the volume up when
running Nicads or NIMH batteries. It only did it on Alkies when they
were about done.

Can't remember the model number any more, but it was a Radio Shack
model...
