Subject: [NTLK] Making a rechargeable battery pack from a standard?
> With the great 2100+ mah Ni-MH batteries available, has anyone
investigated the conversion of a regular battery tray to a rechargeable?
> I've used 1600 mah rechargeable cells with ok results. It saves on
alkalines but they don't give that snappy response you get from a fresh set
alkalines and they die quickly. 2 sets is a must.
>
> Now I'm using either 2100 cells which seem much better. Getting them to
recharge whenever I can plug in would be great. I'm just not interested in
spending $45 for Apple's mediocre pack or over $115 for the new cell
versions. Hopefully, $8 of top quality rechargeables and a little soldering
will get things done.
