In article , says... My NiCad battery gave up the ghost in my HT for the second time. They only seem to last a few years, at the most. I was wondering if I replace the NiCad's with newer NMHi batteries can I use the same charger? Both type batteries are about 1.2 volts when charged. But I'm not sure about their charging requirements. I seem to recall that NiMH batteries can use the same chargers as NiCd. HOWEVER -- LiON batteries cannot. I'm sure others will correct me if I screwed up. ;-) Some of those battery packs have more than 2 contacts, I think the reason might be extra internal compoenents that help detect when the charger should shut down. A NMHi battery pack made to replace a NiCd for a specific radio might have the correct network in it to work with the original charger. |
