I've modified my cage for NiMH and have had no problems. The cage can be
returned to original configuration if you don't solder anything together.
Temperature control is a matter of selecting the correct NTC thermistor.

> The battery cage mod sounds very attractive. This allows the
off-the-shelf NiMH cells to charge in the Newton just like a battery pack,
right? How risky is this procedure, both in terms of possibly rendering the
battery cage FUBAR, and in terms of the cells safely charging inside the
Newt without worry of overheating, etc.?
