But I think the answer is moot, because why would you bother doing this? If you use my adapter with NiMhs, you would charge them in their own charger outside the calculator. It will be safe, faster, and put no wear and tear on your calculator!

I may charge them in the calculator (assuming it is truly safe) so that I don't have to buy a charger for the NiMH cells. I have some of these now, as they are used in devices that charge them directly (mice) and I could use them, as I agree the NiCd charge time is a pain, though I suppose it would be similar (or longer!) with the NiMh cells, so maybe a charger is a good thought after all.

Anyone know if charging NiMh cells in a classic calc. is "totally safe", "recommended against", or the dreaded "it depends" ?
