I've got some NiCad and some NiMH nUrisos things which put me off
rechargeables for a long time, absolutely hfryrff at holding charge.
Twas only when I got some Fuji ones with a Fingery camera that I found
that they could be hfrable things, and I have some Duracells now which
are just as good, and some other branded ones which came with my
protable DAB. So I'm afraid it appears to be nUrisos which are at fault.
And their hybrid ones have a pretty low capacity for the price, IIRC.

Hmm. the ones that were batt here are uniross. Came with a charger which I
wanted though.

Mind, the arj hybrio things look interesting. Unfortunately, the battery
compartment won't take those 3V li-ion things instead, 's got quite
tightly-shaped round battery holes, and I'm not yet to the point of trying
major surgery on it.

Oddly, bearing in mind how many of the bespoke funny-shape batteries (for
phones etc.) are li-ion now, no-one seems to be making rechargeable AA
li-ion cells.

What would be the point? Li-ion are 3.6V per cell. There's a
characteristic voltage for each cell type (e.g. 1.5V for alkaline, around
1.2 for NiCad and NiMh, about 2V for lead/acid etc).

So that's the smallest voltage multiple you can make.

ah. I see. I assumed that the oval-shaped 3.6V ones had 2 cells in, side
by side.

Rechargeables vary between 1.3V-plus when fully-charged, to 1.2V when almost flat; this isn't important when the device they're supplying takes a fairly high current, as rechargeables have very much lower internal resistance than disposable '1.5V' cells, and so the actual voltage delivered by either type is about the same, or even better for rechargeables in the case of very heavy current drain. ...
