- I think that nowadays all the rechargables will not retain their memory.
- So you don't have to worry about when to refresh them. When I purchased
- some rechargables with the charger, I was instructed to leave a pair
- in the charger all the time. If these batteries have memory, a power
- outrage will make these batteries unusable.
-
- But there is one more problem. All the rechargables have 1.25 volt instead
- of 1.5 volt. I have no problem with my walkman because it takes only two
- AAs. Now for a CD player, it requires four AA to get 6 volt. If you use
- the rechargables, you only add up to 5 volt. Will that make any difference.
- I haven't tried this yet. My CD player is still on his way.
