| A happy new year all and a poser. |=20 | My wife was given a camera which uses 2 AA cells. Because I doubt she | will use it much I put 2 ordinary alkaline dry cells in it, it shows | discharged after about 40 frames stored. |=20 | Now these cells still show 1.45V so I am wondering what piece of | equipment would make use of the remaining charge. I am thinking | probably a LED torch of some sort? |=20 | I could buy some NiMH cells for it, Nicads are expressly warned | against, but my experience of NiMH is they are great for regular use | then fail quickly but have a high self discharge if left for long | periods.

in the car and keep my
*numerous* high capacity NiMH batteries charged. Charge them all on the drive out. When one set dies, put another lot in. Charge all the dead ones on fast charge.
I like the MAHA charger because it switches each battery individually off charge when they are full.
My regular use (reading in bed with a torch, so that I do not wake June) LED torches have NiMH batteries, I also have three emergency ones scattered around which have cheap, Lidl, alkaline, because of the self discharge problem mentioned.
