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" ?

My ATS 909 hates NiMH's in fours ...demands fully capable alkalines's
voltage. Alkalines voltage drop after use to a certain figure that
normally would be useable in most radios and the sangean shuts down.

I got a six cell battery holder and ran it to the external battery
connector. And six high capacity NiMH AA's work the radio fine. it
seems to tolerate a 1.2v overvolt because it's heavy current demand
drops that voltage to a 6 volt figure pretty quickly
