Original 1973 LWB R75/5
A question for our electronic experts here on The Forum if I may....
Is there a major problem involved if I use an 3-year old Radio Shack NiCad battery charger to charge up a set of the "new and improved" Ni-MH (metal hydride) batteries? I notice there is a small rocker switch on my Shack charger showing "Ni-CD" - "Ni-MH." What happens to the new Ni-MH (hydride) batteries ("AA") if I leave the switch in the "Ni-CD" position while they're charging??
Considering the price, are these things really that much better than a good set of NiCad's??
Thanks for any assistance.
