Can the Ni-MH batteries use the same charger?

If you open the battery case to repalce the cells you could usefully
consider replacing the nicads with Ni-MH which now come in up to 2 A-h
type in same physical size. I think the original nicads were 600mA-h
so you will get 3 times the battery life. Have you also done the mod
to put in a switch to turn the battery off? Otherwise the internal
clock runs the battery down in storage. Alternatively remove the
battery pack for storage.
