Re: Charging NiMH cells on calculators Message #4 Posted by Eric Smith on 10 Feb 2008, 3:13 p.m., in response to message #3 by Olivier TREGER
In my experience they "like" rechargeable cells (NiCd or HiMH) just fine, but it's recommended to recharge them outside the calculator to avoid possible damage.
Alkaline cells provide a higher voltage than the calculators were designed for. I haven't heard of damage resulting from that, but it is going to stress the components more. Many people will tell you that's not a problem, but I personally prefer to avoid it.
