Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / January 2006bit OT but are NH batteries the same as NiMh ??
as header I have a shaver that has NH on the battery is this the same as a NiHm battery, as the spare is £14 if you can get one for the sake of one AA cell  SignatureReply Address does work ??

The worst that can happen if it's wrong is that it explodes showering you with hot caustic electrolyte. Though this is vanishingly unlikely. Does it give a capacity? If so, and it's >900mAh, it's NiMH | Does it give a capacity? | If so, and it's >900mAh, it's NiMH Actually, I've seen AA NiCd cells rated at up to and including 1100 mAh. AA NiMH cells I've seen rated at 1200 mAh (a while ago) and going up to 2600 mAh or so. In any event, most things like this have NiCd cells. But NiMH cells will probably work fine as a drop-in replacement.

At least if it's an AA cell the quantity of hot caustic electrolyte will be rather limited. I suppose the effect might depend on which part of his anatomy the OP is shaving at the time. ;-) Owain In uk.d-i-y Owain <owain47125@stirlingcity.coo.uk> wrote: >> The worst that can happen if it's wrong is that it explodes showering >> you with hot caustic electrolyte.

Because I thought NiCd were not available in capacities over that - however, capacities have advanced a bit, and the white heat of technology has brought us 1100mAh cells that are NiCd. So, >1100mAh, probably NiMH. |
