Quoted from Zukboy2002:What are you guys thoughts on running these rechargables in you games?
Any of my games the use "AA" style batteries, I use all rechargeable in them. They are a dry cell and never had any NiMh or NiCad leak. I pull them every six months and recharge them in about 30 minutes while leaving the machine on or playing it, if you have extras just rotate the fresh charged set in.
Stay away from all alkaline batteries, at some point they will leak.
Quoted from G-P-E:Be careful if using an NiMH battery in a circuit intended for NiCad. NiMH batteries are not supposed to be charged using trickle chargers (e.g. Gottlieb System 80) the same way as NiCads and can overheat.
Correct, NiCad can be charged at 2-2.5C as where NiMh should be charged at 1C. If he has a NiMh charger then he'll be able to charge both without any issues for NiCad can be charged at 1C and the same wave pulse as NiMh can.
Enercells green are normally NiMh, so the charger from them should be compliant so he can safely charge both in it. Just be careful if your charger is model number 23-787, these had some faulty circuit and caused the batteries to burn and catch fire.
